I do confetti quilts occasionally, I open a baggie and run the rotary cutter over it all until its cut into tiny pieces, then spread this over a background (example would be greens for a tree) put net over it all and quilt the areas in place, then quilt over the "tree" or whatever with quilting to hold the snips in place.
