This reminded me of a friend of mine that recently moved. She saved all her too small pieces. When she got enough she went to work cutting them on the cutting board and then fused them to double sided steam a seam and then to another huge piece of backing fabric and then layered it with (sorry I can't remember the name) colored wedding vail type netting and used it for a back of a quilt or wallhanging. It was different but kind of pretty.
It's called "Tulle".
