From now on I'm only going to buy fabric in 3 or 4 yard cuts for my stash, but really, I don't think I'll be buying much fabric for my stash. It's just too hard to find quilts to use it in. At least for me it is hard.
I use all my scraps, I make scrap quilts by cutting larger scraps and cut them into squares or rectangles and the smaller scraps sewn to make larger squares or rectangles. Then just sew them together to make the size I want, from throws to queen size quilts. The best part is that no fabric is wrong, they all look like they belong. This year I made throws for a nursing home, I had so many scraps (I also used up my errant fat quarters).
I start with a rectangle appx 13 x 15 and go from there, just adding to it, using smaller sizes sewn together to match the size. They really go fast too.
