Scraps can be fun and some can just be a waste - so not something I hold onto anymore. But I don't cut up left over pieces because I don't know what they will be used with or for. One never knows the mood. But I stopped stash collecting. It's just too disappointing when it doesn't really blend with others. :-). My family will decide what to do when I'm gone. My youngest may keep the 2 machines - a treadle and a 15-91 since they were family. The others - who knows... I enjoy them now and that is all they care about.
