I have been collecting my scraps/crumbs, tiny cut offs. Most are 1/4" scraps, are these useable for anything? I assume not since you need a 1/4" seam right? Just checking becuz I know there are people on here who make mini blocks.

Should I just save these to use as stuffing in some future pillow or dog bed?

In my opinion they belong in the trash, but I suppose you could use them for stuffing something.

I can't imagine saving something so tiny. ;)

You could save them for dog beds for a local dog shelter~

Minimum seam allowances for mini's are usually 1/8" so they wouldn't work for them either :D
I would use them for stuffing too :D:D:D

I use them for stuffing for my cat toys, I add cat nip.

I have a friend who makes her own paper and she incorporates these into her paper. Does anyone on here do that?

Wouldn't pillows stuffed with them be lumpy?

I save my itty bitty cotton long strips for the birds.. Stuff them in a mesh bag- like the ones you get from the cutie tangerines- hang them outside for their nests..
