I also save strips of 1.5 or more, as I use these for log cabins. The triangle pieces from flying geese (depending on which method I use at the time) I save and make pinwheels for doll quilts. Born from Depression era parents, the waste not was a way of life, so I also save my little scraps for pillows. Just making two matching pillows for quilts uses up the scraps rather quickly. I also make the cover that can be washed.
