if you do not have use for your scraps place a flat rate box under your cutting table, and toss them into it---when the box is full- let people know you have it & the size/cost of the flat rate ---someone will oh so happily pay that postage to be able to have those scraps! or donate them to the public school art department, a scout troup, or 4-H group. even the senior center--there is alot of people who will put them to great use-and keep them out of the landfills.
This is a great idea. I admit I've been guilty of tossing mine but I won't anymore. I usually toss anything under an inch because the smallest flower I make is an inch and I have trouble sewing anything that small on my doll quilts.
