Since I am not one who makes the traditional quilts, I use my scraps for wall hangings, table runners, and occasionally a lap quilt or tote bag. I have a DVD that shows how to cut scraps into random sized triangles, and blocks and strips of different sizes and shapes, like for crazy quilting. I have seen so many beautiful wall hangings with absolutely wonderful pieced backgrounds made from scraps cut into pieces that can easily be sewn together into a crazy quilt background. I love the blue sky and water backgrounds made with different values of blues even the small prints, and the grass backgrounds have the same wonderful look. It is just an idea for some of you who make the art quilts, etc.
