There are lots of ways to use tiny scraps. I am a miniaturist and I use them for minis. My cut down method makes it easy to sew those pieces together and then cut out a square from the center. Check out my tutorials. I send out free templates from 4 1/2" down to 1". Once you sew and cut the squares you can use these "Blocks" to make quilt blocks and projects.

Also there is a crazy quilt method I call confusion but others call Crumbs. You just lay two pieces of scraps together and sew them together. Cut a straight edge and add another scrap. I sew 2 or 3 scaps together and then do several sets of these 2's and then sew the sets together. this is a great way to make crazy quilt fabrics and it is so easy to do!!

You can make quilt blocks with your Confusion or Crumb fabric but I like to make projects with mine

I love to make butterflies with it
