Our quilt group did "all you can stuff in for $1" bags...little sandwich style zip locks (and they had to close!) These got rid of many little scraps, and were fun to watch ladies really stuffing their bags to the limit!
Some were fabric, some were ribbons and trim pieces, etc. Christmas stockings sold well in all sizes, bibs for babies and adults, lined fleece or wool mittens in all sizes, and little clay flowerpots filled with floral print scraps sticking up cutely.
