Another question about scraps.

Another question about scraps.
I'm starting a quilt top that has appliqued beach balls on it. I had to trace all the pieces onto the paper backing of the fusible web and i'm in the process of cutting out the pieces after having fused the glue to the fabics. My question, what do others do with the scraps after cutting out the template pieces? The scraps have the fusible web on it and even though I tried to lay them out so that there was minimal fabric waste, there is still some waste. I can't for the life of my think of what to do with these scraps. Anyone have any ideas or do you just toss them?

I do not toss these. I am currently useing and seeking out others for crumbs (scraps) to make my blocks.
The blocks are 3 1/2 inch squares. true it will take alot of these to make the top. Have over 100 done for this project already. Just have to be patient' . the fusalbe is sewable. can still be used.

i have a special tote i put applique scraps in- so when i am going to do some applique i can look through those scraps first before using new pieces of fabric- especially if i need some small pieces-like flower centers, eyes, ect-
