I save ALL my scraps and cut-offs for applique-and even if you don't applique now, you may want to later on. You can also use them for small projects like I did at Christmas-made gift-card holders, ornaments, and other small gifts which you can use those scraps on. I just keep them in clearf plastic stacking boxes sorted by color (well, I do have alot!), but until you gather a "stash" of scraps, they look pretty just thrown in a clear plastic or glass jar on a shelf!! If you don't want them anyway, I would make a good home for them!!LOL I take it the error won't affect your quilt, though! That is the important thing!
