I'm the quilter from CA with the Keeshond, and I believe we met at the NH keepsake quilting shop. I couldn't do a 1/8 inch seam, I'm sure.

Here's the link to a free Spiderweb pattern. http://www.maryquilts.com/wp-content...structions.pdf

I saw a beautiful rug knit on size 35 needles that was made of narrow strips of fabric. It was on crazymomquilts.blogspot.com.

You could make a skinny log cabin with them. Use some large and then some small pieces alternating them.

tie up garden plants and cut into crumbs for beds at the animal shelter

I must not have a very good imagination...I just throw them away. I don't know if I'ld have the patience to sew all those tiny pieces together. LOL The quilt in the pic is very nice, though.

Thanks for all the great ideas for using skinny scraps.

doll quilts, art quilts, embellishment. if you don't want them i bet there are others on the qb who would be glad to have them! play with them, you could have lots of fun!

I know it is not artistic, nor a challenge, but . . . . . Put any small scrap into an old pillowcase and sew it closed. Using a long basting stitch to quilt it into sections. Thus creating a sleep mattress for abandoned pets at a local shelter. They don't care if it is pretty or not.

If I'm adding a border to a quilt I almost always begin with a 1" strip to enclose the quilt before adding a larger border.
