What ELSE Do You Use Your Scraps For?
 
Scrappy quilts, binding, pet beds, pot holders, mug rugs...what else do you use your scraps for? I have 3 big boxes of them and I need ideas. Thanks.

I cut them in strips and use them when I wrap gifts or on gift bags to make a bow/ribbon.

I use the 100% cotton ones as mulch in my perennial beds.

If you crochet or knit, how about rag rug? Stitch cotton together with tulle for dish cloths.

I use a few green ones to tie up the hollyhocks to their stakes :D And when I get the scrap tubs overflowing I share them with anyone else who wants them, it's hard to keep up with the scraps no matter how many scrappy quilts you make.
