Small scraps, great for applique, I keep them all, being on a tight budget also. I think with all the great ideas on this thread, so should you!

I have a suggestion that you may find helpful if you sew anything else besides quilts such as cushions or stuffed animals. I always save all my little scraps of fabric and pieces of thread in a bag or box and then when I've made something that needs stuffing I'll use them with the stuffing. Keeps it from being wasted and comes in handy if you happen to be out of stuffing. They could also work for crazy quilts if you have that much patience. I would use bigger pieces because ones that small would drive me crazy, but if it works for you, by all means give it a try. Anything that would save a few pennies here and there :)

put them and all other scraps in a piece of fab ric about the size of a pillowcase and when it is 3/4 full, serge it closed and give it to the homeless animals for a bed.

Please save them for the ped beds - find someone who makes these if you don't want to. Every little bit helps.

Crumbs. You could also save them for stuffing, I saved all my too tinies and made a dog bed for my furrygrandson, he loves it. I added some cedar chips to it to keep the fleas down.

Your ornaments are adorable. What a great idea to use up those bits and pieces from larger projects.

Trash to me also!

I put those in a box and use them for fabric postcards. I fuse them to a postcard size piece of thick interfacing and free motion stitch over them. Or use those pretty decorative stitches on your machine that you never get to use. My friends love getting them as thank you notes in the mail. :) :) :)

I have hard time throwing away the little scraps also but sometimes you just have to.

If you don't think you would definately use them for something, put them in the trash.
