Default usable scraps
I would think there might be enough to do paper pieced blocks if you do that kind of work or cut small squares or triangles from the larger of the scrap areas. I know it takes time to sew it all back together, but, I did a border with snowball cutoffs and it turned out quite nice. Yes. it took time to put it all together with over 120 pieces from those corner cut offs, but it worked well and has added another dimention on the quilt that I am in the process of making.

and silly me, not wanting to waste fabric, I'm thinking I can cut it further and use it in a scrap quilt but hmmn, what a pain in the you know what. I don't think there is an easy way. What would you do? How would you attempt to cut it? Or seriously, would you even bother?

And I'll try to get a pic of one of the quilts that came from this mess if it will work...
