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.

IMHO I would consider them trash...

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.

Your quilts are lovely. I like landscape quilts and I agree you would be amazed at what small scraps that can be used...

I think everyone should do that! Bless you! They make nice pet beds. I love to see "trash" put to a good use. I know those animals appreciate them

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

I've been stuffing them in an empty round coke bottles for Christmas decorations next year.

True story: I found a can full of--and labeled--Bent and Rusty Nails in my dad's garage after he passed away.
