I'm using leftover fabric and making mini quilts. I'm not even binding them in the traditional way. I leave extra fabric on top and foldover. Not pretty but quick. I'm donating the results to an animal shelter/pound for the critters to have something comfy to lay on. If they get ruined - no big deal. Hopefully soon I'll be ready to practice on my bigger pieces. I am comfortable with stippling though and that's what I'll use on my current project.
