i use the small scraps for cathedral window quilts and biscuit quilts.
|
one inch for me... below that is only for crumb quilts. Wait maybe I need to make one of them!!!!
|
I tend to save really small pieces. I just finished a quilt with leaves on the border and almost all the different colored leaves were cut from pieces in my green scrap box from strips 1" to pieces as small as 1 1/2" square. I don't know why I keep such pieces, but it is fun to use them.
|
Every so often I go through my scraps and seperate them by color-and save them in big freezer bags for scrap quilts-I have been croheting rugs with the small strips and selvages
|
I have as small as 2 inch squares up to 5 inch. Love to do scrappy quilts.
|
if it's smaller than a 3 x5 brick or a 2 1/2" noodle, it goes in a bag ... somebody will want it.

This group is the "right" group for any question. Never fails that someone has an answer.

I even take the little bitty pieces and little pieces of thread and put them in the bushes for bird nest. kids thought it was kinda cool when they were little to find the nest with moms "pretty stuff" in them.
Never throw anything away. There is always a use for it. |
