I can't bear to throw out my scraps as I'm sewing so I save them and make them into new fabric that I make Bible bookcovers from. The tiniest pieces along with some slightly larger ones, some threads, maybe sequins, ribbons, etc are laid on a sheet of thin fabric like muslin (or sometimes I use prints to show thru) and then a piece of toile or sheer material placed on top of the assortment. I make sure to cover as much as possible and have a pleasant assortment. This is pinned and then free motion quilted to hold everything together. From this I cut my pattern for my Bible covers. This is my tutorial from my blog - http://peggymunday.blogspot.com/2010/07/scrappin.html
