You can also make scrappy look pillows for your beds and/or sofas. I took scraps, cut into strips sewed together and made the yoke for a jacket from it. Took leftovers of that for the lapel of the pocket and cuffs on the sleeves. Others have suggested making a victorian type crazy quilt which looks dynamite with all sort of added laces, buttons,etc. Pretty much these days you can do whatever you want with whatever fabrics you want it seems. The crazier the better as it turns out as a "one of a kind".
