don't toss it but take it to a local Senior Center to share. Many of these have classes for the seniors to learn/do quilting as well as other sewing groups. They will accept and LOVE donations of all sizes. I personally have received supplies from our local center. Many of what you think is too small are exactly what I use for my doll clothes that are given to Toys 4 Tots at our local base. Many times I have also received Yards of fabric which I use to make little girls clothing and take to a local ministry store that charges for their clothing. I have received most of this material after the quilters (of which I am a part) have not wanted the items.
never toss your items. There are almost always uses for these. Thanks to all for considering this option.
