The front of one cutter quilt piece had been stained, but the back looked great, so I cut it in half, embroidered both back sides and made it into a tiny tote. I was also able to add a tiny length of beaded ribbon I've been saving because it was too short to use on anything but too pretty to toss. Anyway, it'll be a nice way to present a gift card to someone this year.
The back, with different embroidery. The variegated perle thread I used was also leftover scrap.
I also successfully hand-washed and dried the bigger piece of the crazy quilt piece -- again, never do this to anything you want to preserve -- so once I piece them back together and turn it into a rectangle by adding a bit to the smaller piece I'll have a nice-size and clean cutter piece to make into a journal cover.
