I'm having fun making kids quilts from my scraps and crumbs. I don't separate them, they all go in, along with strings, strips and all the odd shaped pieces that won't make at least a 2" square for me. Less than 3/4" would only give you a 1/4" of fabric showing after the seams, so I tend to go with 1" as useable.
Here are some of my recent tops using crumbs and whatever else I have to toss in.
