What a great idea-just what I am going to do with mine! I have been saving them for many years-just in case I found a good use for them-and I just did! I even have a gallon-size zip lock bag filled with tiny points cut off half sqauare triangles and the like (I'm a hopeless hoarder when it comes to fabric!)
