mine too have babies, if it's a really small piece I give them to my quilting buddy who like to sew small pieces. I have TONS and TONS of scraps and steady buy more fabric. I'm hoard up fabric for when I retire and don't have any money. I have been known to threw them away. I get tired of the same scraps. When I attended the quilt retreats we used to fill a wal mart bag with scraps and swap them.
