I do a lot of quilts for PROJECT LINUS.... and I often use scraps, cut into squares of whatever size (from 1 1/2 up to 5 inches)...they make colorfull quilts and kids love bright colors......the biggest problem I seem to have is that the fabric isnt all the same weights, and I try to not mix heavy and light ones in the same quilt.Maybe it would be a good idea to have a box for heavy and a box for lighter weight scraps too ?????
