So I am a new quilter and I was reading on this board that there are people who like to collect scraps from other posters and make quilts out of them. So starting with this project, I've started saving my scraps. I was not a huge scrap saver before- I've always saved the bigger pieces but not anything smaller than maybe 3"x3"- so I've started saving the scraps I'd usually thrown away in a bag thinking once the bag is full, I could send it off to someone that would use them.

Anyway, today I trimmed off the extra batting from the sandwich and was wondering if I should save that too. Would anyone be interested in a bag of batting scraps? Some are skinnier strips, but some are a few inches wide.

Just let me know! Also, how small is "usable"? For example a strip that is 1" wide... should I put that in the giveaway bag? Or throw it out?
