You would have more than that had you cut the pieces conventionally, trust me! Use that to stuff a dog bed.

We have a place in town that buys cotton scraps by the pound. Everyone saves their scraps in bags, and we give it to the Project Linus. They take them over there to sell to get money to buy batting.

I keep all those teeny strips/scraps and use them for stuffing for dog beds for the Humane Society...that way the beds are washable, instead of that cedar stuffing that comes in store bought beds! I feel like I'm doing something to make a shelter animal more comfortable...I can't adopt them all!!

I have used small scraps similar to yours for covering clothesline and then making baskets and bowls. Your scraps would make very nice bowls. The books I have are "It's a Wrap" and "It's a Wrap II" by Susan Breier.

they don't look very useable to me, sorry

I really love this idea... I love scraps and hardly ever throw anything away.... Pm me if you have extras

You arrange the scraps (could include snippets of ribbon and/or lace too) on a foundation, then place a fine tulle over it, FMQ all over it to hold it together. Then you can do further embellishments if you'd like, add a binding. For the foundation, we crazy patched some neutral-ish fabrics and added some decorative stitching. We must've had a thin batting too, but I don't recall what--maybe W&N? Viola, a fun creation! Sadly I realized my creation or the process did not speak to me for doing more, but it was fun!

I'd throw them away or use them for pet bed stuffing. There are a lot of creative ideas to use them but I wonder how much thread you would use and how much the thread would cost. Not to mention the time involved, I just don't have that much time to sew all those pieces together.

some stuff pillows with scraps.

I use them as gift-wrapping ties and recently as a perky tie-up for a drooping indoor daffodil plant.
