I get lots of scraps from my sewing projects. I sew hats for the operating room girls. We have to wear the same clothes everyday, and the same clothes as everyone else. So our hats and socks are the only things that make us individualistic. So I created a pattern and sew hats. Even now that I'm not in the OR (I'm in the ER now at a very small hospital), I still sew hats for the girls at a larger hospital in the closest hospital to us, about 80 miles away. I charge $1 to cover the cost of elastic, but get about a fat quarter of fabric left over, which is a huge bonus to me. I have sewn literally hundreds of hats, so I have a great assortment of far quarters!!
These are two of my friends that I've sewn their hats. Kinda cute, huh!

Here are the fat quarter scraps that I sewed just this week. I never get to pick the fabric choices, but it usually rounds out to a bunch of fun ones.

This one is me, about 3 years ago. Wearing my own hat, of course. I worked in Wyoming then.
