I usually save almost everything. I have a bad habit of using scraps from one quilt & incorporating it into another quilt. I have three baby quilts that have the same fabric in it. The 1st one, was very bright and original. The 2nd one had a different theme but it to was bright with pieces from the first quilt. And the 3rd was a scrappy Irish chain with the small pieces of quilt 1 & 2. Honestly, it has been atleast 3 yrs since I have gone to a LQS and the only fabric I have purchased was for the backing of my avatar because DH wanted music notes, and batiks from 2 board members that I couldn't resist. So, I guess nothing is to small, because you never know where you might use it.
