it looks like you have big enough pieces to cut strips from them. they would make nice strip quilts .
|
How about sending them to some iof us -ie me
|
?yo yos
|
Crumb quilts??? OK, I think they are what I would called "crazy" quilt blocks.
|
They are perfect for string quilt blocks...

I gave a huge Rubbermaid container full of scraps to a new quilter to use in a sampler quilt she was making in a quilt class. She would call me and ask if I wanted them back because they were soooo pretty. I also received the gift of seeing her progress in her quilting. Great trade-off.

Susan Carlson does fantastic fabric collages with glue and then quilts them. She uses crumb scraps as you describe. Some of her pieces are very well known - the rhino,the turtle etc. Perhaps you could give it a go. She was on the Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims and the episode inspired me. You can see some of her stuff at this link:

I would leave the size (you never know what you might need) but sort by light and dark and medium.
