Scrap quilts are not my thing. So i put my scraps in a waste basket next to my cutting station. When it is full, they go in a plastic shopping bag. Then they are donated to whoever wants them. It surprises me how many quilters do want them. I suspect that someday the families of those quilters will find floor to ceiling bags of scraps piled in a large closet or two.
When I started quilting, I thought I might use them, but then i realized that they are fertile, some are male and some are female or perhaps they are all asexual, and they are indeed, shall we say, active when i'm not looking. However, their children never, ever mature into yards, or even half yards. My theory is that their growth genes were cut when the parent yards were cut. But I'm no scientist.
