I can't throw anything I try to make new fabric out of all the tiny little scraps: for example sewing all the small stripes one inch wide together and using the "lasagne method" I'll get new fabric:

And then I made some place mats out of this "new fabric":

Or I use even smaller stripes like this: some are only 1cm wide!!

And they give nice little bags:

And if there are "crumbs" that I can't use I give them to the Kindergarten: they can sort for color or shape and glue them on paper to make some pictures out of them!!!

I think it depends on what they will be used for. I make crumb blocks, so I tend to use at least 1 1/2 inches. But if someone was making a miniature quilt, they may have a different criteria. I say, bag them up, and the recipient can pick and choose what to keep and what to pass on...
