I've been lucky in finding ways to use up my scraps. For one quilt I used up the blues and neutral strips I used for another quilt. Was searching thru my scraps a couple months ago and found some I'd forgotten about that I made a baby quilt with. Decided to use what I had leftover plus a few orphan blocks from the same quilt to make the little guy a pillow and a bag as he likes to fill it with small objects and tote it around the house. I'd used some of the scraps during the quilt making period to make him a stuffed elephant. Now he's getting some new twin brothers due in July and mother wants the same quilt pattern but in different colors so I'll make some elephants to go with the quilts to use up the scraps.
Otherwise from time to time I'll have a friend come over and jump into my scrap piles to pull from them to make herself a quilt. She's in the process of learning so doesn't have much in the way of fabrics. This helps both of us.
