I make comfort quilts for different charities. I have a couple of "go-to" type patterns that I cut my scraps for. I use 6.5" and 5" squares and rectangles a lot, plus strips. If you don't have an idea for a quilt, you may want to hold off on cutting until you have a plan. I have also used my small scraps as stuffing for pillows when I get tired of looking at them.
