Barb, that is what I do especially with fabric that might be considered ugly. It is really surprising how well 'ugly' fabric works in scrappy quilts. Usually if it is cut small enough it isn't ugly anymore. I also have a lot of remnants that I don't want to get rid of to get rid of but not large enough for a regular quilt, these pieces make good scraps too.
