I'm more of a scrap saver than a scrap user. However, recently I have been thinking it might be fun to sew some of those small scraps onto adding machine paper (a roll is very inexpensive at Walmart in the office section). Any fabric at least an inch wide (1/2" would show after seaming) and as wide as the paper (about 2") could be used. Some people (not me) would even sew smaller pieces together to get fabric big enough to piece. Later you trim the fabric overhangs and cut the roll into strips to combine with a solid fabric to make a lattice-like quilt. Here's a link to a QB thread that shows some of the uses for these strips (scroll through the pages to get to some of the photos):

It might also be fun to cut out applique flower petals from fabric that is pieced this way, or from "made" fabric that is pieced together from smaller scraps.
Not sure I will ever have the patience, though......
