I've taken scarps and made whole quilts fro them. say 10 blues and muslins and made a 4 patch or nine patch. they were scraps, maybe just 5 x 5 inches. I also do a lot of appplique, so sometimes, those little scraps become a cats nose, or a birds eye, or a petal on a flower, I have a trash bag hanging that is holding smaller pieces, 1 x 5" ors o, it may be what I need for a flower.
