I keep even the smallest scrap and I have a bag at my quilting table. The bigger pieces go in a bucket and anything I think I won't use goes into a bag that I donate to a lady that makes dog beds for the Humane Society. At $12 a yard, I feel I am using it all. I bet you could find someone in your area that would love your scraps...yes, I do find when I am using scraps the bucket never gets a dent in it! It stays full no matter how much I use.
