I save 2 1/2 , 3 1/2 , 5 & 6 " squares. I then give them away. Sometimes I make nine patch quilts or just patch quilts. There a no brainer when I don't want to think. Also very pretty when done. I don't put borders on either. I cut up my left overs when I'm done with a project. This way I don't get so much scrap to over welm me.
