I take my scraps and put them in a bag, then when I am burnt out on real quilts (it doesn't happen often), I have large muslin rectangles that have scraps all sewn on then blanket stitched around the loose edges. Those will someday be an amazing crazy quilt. No design, no structure, just lots of colors and patterned fabrics joined with bright variegated blanket or other fancy ass stitches. I'll finish it before I die, and if I don't... oh well...
