I just read all those really good comments and ideas, since I am a scrap saver too. Once I saw a gal on HGTV - Alex's show, and she sewed all her little pieces together in like color groups. The larger pieces she created then became the fabric for an applique such as a dove or flower, or as a larger quilt piece. The effect was quite artistic, and if I ever get "a round tuit" I'll post one that I make :) It's on my list of things to try-- Whenever and probably not soon!!!!
