I toss my clipped threads on the floor and just sweep them all up when I'm done, or when the floor looks like it's covered with a thread rug.
My first few quilts had pieces that were in themselves pieced because I had cut them too short. And my seams or points don't ALWAYS match.
And I've not mastered the art of always pressing seams to the 'dark' side and having the seams alternate when putting pieces together.
