I laid out a one yard piece of fabric and then laid scraps side by side on top to measure quantity.

Lo and behold, it took 6 repetitions! Six yards of scraps! All were less than 11” wide but only a few were small like candies. Mainly decent strips, charms and chunks. For the record, 3yds of scraps (stuffed but not ironed) fits a gallon size ziploc bag.

I very recently joined a sewing group (not a guild) that makes charity quilts using 11” squares or 11” wide scraps, so I put that size in a separate bag to donate to them.

i also have my sewing closet 95% done.
