Mary I have seen where they have used those scraps and placed them on a piece of fabric and covered them with a light mesh then sewn over it to quilt it down. It is an interesting treatment.
You could sew them together into a crumbs pattern. I don't use a backing but you can. I just sew them together and trim where needed. Just keep adding them together any way you like til you have a bigger piece of fabric
Here is my tutorial on my confusion method(similar to the crumb version) -
