A lot of those look like perfect sizes to wrap around hexagon templates for EPP! (I don't want them, though, I have plenty of my own!)

I like to slice my scraps into strips that are 6.5 inches wide by whatever height they end up (trimmed to be straight, if necessary). I make 'stacked coin' type strips and use those for scrappy quilts. Those strips are great to have by the machine for leaders/enders. It seems like the quilt just makes itself when I do that.

And I do foundation-pieced crazy quilts on thin muslin; just about any size bit of fabric works for that. The oddest-shaped pieces are great for starting the center of the block out.

I don't throw out crumbs that size. I make scrap quilts, and string quilts.. The recipients of the quilts get so excited with the geat selection of fabrics I have. They sew up fast into pieces of fabric to be cut with templates.

Another thought - some of the smaller scraps could potentially be used to patch repair a quilt if a spill gets on it or it gets torn. That's yet another reason I hang on to "crumbs!"
