Default For our songbirds

Along the lines of saving scraps to stuff dog beds: It will soon be the birds' nesting season, and when building their nests they love to use the tiny bits we trim off when squaring blocks or straightening seam allowances. Just be sure your pieces aren't too long--about an inch and a half is good. (Longer than that, baby birds can get them tangled around their legs, and that's a disaster.) If you put the scraps in the branches of shrubbery or low trees, birds will find them.
