I see several places to fussy cut more squares. The rest I'd cut 1.5"x1.5", 1.5"x2.5", upwards for log cabin strips. The fabric is too pretty not to use as much as possible. :)

The quilt is beautiful!

I have a piece that looks just like this one. However, I have some fussy cut motifs still that I can harvest and then I will whack the rest into smaller squares. I am like you, just don't want to waste any.

I would cut it into 1.5" strings and throw it into my bag of 1.5" strips to be cut up later when I know what I'm going to do. But there is going to be a lot of waste.

I agree with others, cut some strings or blocks with what is left and put them away in your scraps. Then when you see them again to use in a project you will think of your beautiful quilt.

If you do any paper piecing, there is plenty of good left in that piece. Just cut up into largish hunks and toss it in the scraps! If you're not a paper piecer, I agree with the others - cut as many squares, strips or rectangles as you can without making yourself nuts, then discard the rest (or donate it to someone who uses tiny scraps for stuffing or whatever).

There's plenty left to salvage. Great looking quilt!

Very pretty quilt. I'd just cut the scraps in strips with a rotary cutter. After that, whatever happens happens.

Crumbs or strings

Oh No! It makes my heart Quake to think people are ( throwing out) pieces of fabric. If the ( scraps) have reached the point that You have no more use of it it is time to put it into the scrap bag to pass on, there are always people who would Love to have your scraps!

What difference does it make if it is in the bottom of my scrap bin or on top of my trash bin? Either way I will never use it.
