I rarely actively save 1" squares unless I have a specific idea in mind. Currently I'm using a bunch of bitty scraps up in my 365 Block challenge.
Recently I've started using small scraps of fabric that I really love to make cards. I keep a stack of card blanks (available at craft stores) right near my cutting table, and when I have a pretty little pile of coordinating scrappy bits, I stick them down with a glue stick to make a quick abstract card. If I'm in the mood, I sometimes do a bit of machine stitching to further secure and embellish the bits. Makes a great card to accompany a gift quilt, or just general use too.
i like this idea! I would think with the advent and growth of fiber artistry and raw edge appliqué, there are every few scraps that aren't "big enough to save". I'm of the camp that cannot throw anything I might think is usable away. I'll probably be buried alive with it all some day...but what a way to go
