I would trash most of them. However, I saw a clear Christmas tree ball ornament where the person took the hanger out and stuffed in some pretty colored tiny scraps and replaced the hanger. Makes a nice little momentum at Christmas for someone who quilts.

Crumbs. But I save tons of those little things and have never made anything with them. You could start a new trend. All those little pieces sewn together make a bigger piece for a crazy log cabin or something.

Check out her quilts and you may think that those are perfectly usable pieces of fabric.
