Re-use, re-purpose?

A quilt came home to me the other day.
 I made it as a window covering/valance
for an office at my church, back in 2005.
It's handquilted and has a hanging sleeve on the back
to hang horizontally.

After six years in a south-facing window, the colours have faded slightly, but not terribly.
Here's a strip of the blue against it.

When I rummaged through my parts draw, I found leftover bits and pieces.
Now I'm wondering what to do with this quilted valance.
Use it as a table runner?
 Give it away with a matching tea cozy made from the leftovers
 (even it it is a bit faded?)
BTW: the block is Jericho wall, but I modified it with curved strip piecing in the yellow triangles.

I love the curves on it. I'd use it as a table runner. Love the colors in it. Hugs

The curves in there is really interesting Brenda! Yup! Using it as table runner would be perfect!

Table runner + tea cozy = wonderful gift for someone ... unless you are in love with the window piece and can't bear to part with it.
