I save everything. I give what don't want away on here and I have received many scraps from all the awsome people on here. There is always somebody that can use what you don't want to.

Everybody that does not use anything smaller than 2" there are alot of people that would pay for shipping for your scraps. Alot of people here are saving for postage stamp quilts (1-1/2") I just hate to see things thrown away that others would love to have

i'm really glad that you all save & share as opposed to sitting in the landfill...maybe we need a whole section on who saves what size, so we can KEEP the ball rolling!!!

i wish i were so organized!

I only save 2.5" now.. so... if I have small scraps that can be cut to 1.5 I'll set them aside until I have an envelope full and mail them to someone

People will find uses for the tiniest of scraps. I like this system by Bonnie Hunter.....

I save virtually everything, including small pieces of thread.

I have happily received packages of 'crumbs' from several members on this forum :-D . I just love rummaging through the package looking at all of my little treasures. I am addicted to making crumb quilts and now I think I will start saving for a postage stamp quilt....woo hoo.

As Bonnie Hunter says, "the fabric in the scraps costs just as much as the yardage that it came from" (not an exact quote). She makes "new" fabric from her scraps and then sew quilts from her "new" fabrics.

Some lovely work is done with strips too.
