I am cheap! I see plenty of usable fabric in there. I see strips for a strip quilt. I see squares for some half square triangles... I would not throw it out! If it is good quality fabric, I am sure that I could use some of that up elsewhere.
What about a totally scrappy quilt??? Those are beautiful colors for that!

I am often amazed at what other people use.
I give all my scraps to my mum and she produces masterpieces! (I once found my mum going through my scrap bin taking out fabric I thought was too small, but she found a use for it).

Sometimes I just don't think. I have a huge tote of scraps left from cutting out cotton shorts and dresses. So they are really odd shaped pieces. I've been slowly cutting them into 3.5, 2.5 or 2 inch strips. Never thought to use my June Tailor Ruler. Thanks for the idea!

That is one beautiful floral quilt!!
