I try to pick prints that will be OK without fussy cutting for candy swaps, since fussy cutting them would greatly increase the amount of time. I normally stack five layers and cut them together.
Since almost all of what I make are more color related than subject, I don't usually worry about candies that weren't fussy cut as it does not matter. I've done I-spy, and then it did matter. I will only toss them if they are either undersized or not cut square, or very thin fabric.
There is one time I tossed a bunch of non fussy cut pieces. I was using a toile print, and it had a horse pulling a sleigh going away, and the horse had it's tail up. Now, it was not anatomically correct, but I did toss all the small triangles that had nothing but the back end of the horse with it's tail raised!
