I must confess, I hold onto every little scrap piece. I do mostly machine applique so I do use many small pieces. I also keep all my cut off salvages because someday I might just need them. I'm terrible when it comes to throwing away anything that I might find useful some time in the future and then I can't find it!

I give all my scraps to the young ladies that I mentor once a week during the school year. The love to cut into squares and make nine patches. Now I have the classified here to continue to give them away....

I only keep things that are even strips or squares, no scraps

this is my way too
I do sell off some fabric yardage that I know I'll never use.
I wouldn't think of parting with my scraps - I love my scraps - can spend hours cutting scraps into 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2" and 3" squares - carefully placed in labeled boxes, perhaps never to be seen again.

I take all my tired of it scraps to the community quilt class I teach and the members there take them. Orphan blocks are made into potholders for me. When a potholder gets dirty I toss it, that's easy for me to do. I just think less laundry.
