I cut scraps either 3" to 7 - 1/2" If I don't have much of it. Same for strips. I use leftover binding for 2-1/2" strips, which they are. I have tons of yardage fabrics that I plan on making quilts from. The scraps will wait for a while or I will give them to my Daughter to use in her scrappy quilts. She doesn't buy much yardage pieces until she needs them. We both donate most of our quilts.
