What do you make with your fabric scraps?

I was thinking of making a cool wreath! Also to save them to make some bookmarks!

rag rugs, aprons, but I would like to hear about crafybear's wreath idea.

Quilts and rag rugs, Carol have you posted any of your rag rugs on this site? Would love to see them, I do not make my rugs from scraps more recycled clothing.

Gal, the rugs are crocheted. My mom use to cut up our old clothes and crochet rugs. I have a crocheted rug in the one bathroom. I would have more but my daughter sneaks them out of the house because she likes them. I've seen them with a the raw edges folded inside, but I just crochet them with the edges raw. They wash up fine.

I don'y make the rugs like you posted, I bought a used hook, cutter and have the backing but I haven't tried one yet. Can I email you when I start?

I just mentioned to my DH that I have so many scraps I will soon make a scrappy quilt. I also like to use them for paper piecing. I have made a lot of crocheted rugs and baskets but I usually use non quilting fabrics for them.

I like to cut mine into 5 inch squares when I can.
You can do so much with these charm squares.

I am working on a double-wedding ring quilt. Only thing is, I don't have many scraps so I have gone through what I have and am having to buy fat quarters.

I take my small scraps to my local guild. One of the ladies uses it to stuff animal beds and donates them to the local humane society.
