I just stitched mine all together and used to make squares for a rag quilt.

there is a lady here on the board who makes pet beds for a humane society and uses them...if you go to the donation section you can post what you have to get rid of someone will wave, me-me...
i know how they build...right now i have (2) large black garbage bags full...but i also have a lady who gets scraps from me when she needs them. there are lots of uses but they do grow pretty fast, sometimes you just have to pass them on :thumbup:

I usually save them, but this Christmas I was rushing to get the quilts done and in the mail, so I had them, the scraps, piled on the floor. I turn around and one of the dogs decided that that was a perfect bed for him. So I am saving them to make him another bed. The bigger pieces get zigzagged together for other projects.

I keep all of it for use in trapunto pieces or anywhere that needs extra layering. If the pieces are reasonably large, I join them together with a fagotting stitch and put them inside another quilt. Bags can be given extra padding from small pieces.

I use my scraps when I make coasters and snap bags.

I used to use the scraps and would zigzag them together to make a larger piece. I always missed a place, or overlapped them too much. There is a product on the market to use to fuse them together. It does a much better job for me. It fuses polyester as well as cotton. Just use a light tough and a cooler iron for the poly. Don't wantto melt it or get it on the iron.
