There are a lot of people on the QB who would love to take your scraps.
I'm in scrap hell myself right now. Thanks to the Boomerang Swap, I have a stack of bits and pieces waiting to be sorted. All my foldable pieces go back in the color bin. The little pieces go into the tall scrap bin.
In my eager-beaver mode, I decided to keep all the trimmings from my HSTs and sew them into even smaller HSTs. (trimmed they are only 1 3/4") So the madness continues.
...in the end - they are your scraps and you need to do what makes you happy.
