First off, take deep breath. You are normal.
I usually end up with a few left over pieces too. By the time I'm done with a quilt, I just want it and all it's friends (extra scraps/blocks ect) out of my home. So I make a pillowcase with the left over pieces. That will usually use up all the extras and it's a gift wrap bag all in one!
Oh, and I almost forgot, I also use extra blocks in the backing. That way it ties the two sides together in more than one way! I had one recipient say she liked the back better than the front! I was a little shocked as the front was a lot of house blocks that take a while to piece, but as long as she was happy, that's all that mattered.!!!
