I've started quite a collection of the "tails" that I cut off of the quilts, once I've bound them. I just can't bring myself to throw them away. What do you do with them?

I made a phone book quilt from them. I don't have a photo of it yet because I am still quilting it but you can Google phone book quilt to see how it is done.

Same problem here - I keep saving them and believe I will use them some time in either a very scrappy quilt, or cut them up and make a postage stamp quilt. Who knows. Once in a while someone else needs them. I share my stash on a regular basis with friends.

Could you sew them together, end to end, and use them on pet beds? I use all kinds of odds and ends for my bindings that I do on the kitty quilts for the shelter. Hopefully the kitties are color blind, lol.

You could cut them up and make a scrap quilt with them.

I sew them end to end and wrap them around cotton clothesline to make fabric bowls and bags out of the clothesline..... scrappy is very pretty!

At this point the only thing I've done with them is throw them in my scrap box. :)
