Look up the "Inchie quilts" Talk about small pieces. I haven't attempted one yet but want to. They would make cute pins for friends and gifts. As for my stash, everything that is bigger than 1". I also cut the fabric left from projects right then and sort them into little bins. My faborite scraps are from the" lumber yard", you know 2 x 4 1 x 12, 4 x 4, lol When I cut them right away, my room stays cleaner and less smaller pieces hanging around.
