What do you do with tiny little scraps?
Hi everyone,
I usually hang out on the vintage machines page, so please forgive me if this has been asked before.
What do you all usually do with those teeny, tiny little scraps that can't be used in a quilt? I'm thinking of the bits cut off the end of the fabric to establish a straight edge for cutting strips, or the selvedges. In some cases, they're only 1/4" wide. I also keep all the little pieces of thread that I snip off when I haven't used a leader or ender. I hate to just toss all that good cotton -- would the birds use it in nests if I set it outside? Any other suggestions?
