Re: quilt tops?
I have seen bears, aprons, pincushions, pillows, table toppers, placemats, etc. made of quilt tops.
I hope you show us what you make.
Good Luck.

Re: quilt tops?
Could you post a picture of it? That would help with suggestions.
If it's real pretty, you might want to get curtain rods and hang it on the wall as a wall hanging. Since it's just a top, it shouldn't be too heavy for the rods. You might want to starch it first to make it hang flat. I bought a rod a while back that has 8 clips across it to hold the material.

A friend had me make several stuffed animals from one of her mother's quilts that was worn to give to each of her grandchildren so they would have a keepsake of their great-grandma.

You could even frame part of it for the wall

My husbands grandmother had teddy bears made for grandkids & greatgrand kids from quilts that were too used to repair. It made a great memorial to her after her death.
