I cut all my scraps of fabric into 2 inch blocks or 5 inchblocks or what ever i can get out of them and store like sizes together. When the box is full I will make a quilt for charity

If you google 'crumb quilts' you'll get more great ideas.

Here are some blocks I've done with crumbs. As you can see, some of my "crumbs" are pretty big. Just depends on how patient I feel on a given day.

The square in a square blocks are actually done crazy quilt style, on a foundation of ugly fabric, but you could do it with crumbs.

The blue block was made after I made a miniature sampler with blue and white, and wanted to get rid of most of the small bits that were leftover.

I've got a crumb quilt as shown going myself, but I also have a box of stings from squaring up blocks that I keep for pillow stuffing. It makes a very firm pillow and is great for making a neck pillow.Instead of a thread bag I throw that over the fence where there are a lot of trees with birds nesting.

I save all my strings in a big plastic container that used to hold pretzels. I actually use my strings more often than I use crumbs. I really enjoy string piecing. But somehow, my strings accumulate at a much faster rate than I can use them. I think they actually breed in there or something. When I make something with strings, it barely makes a dent.

ETA - by strings, I mean the strips 1" or wider. Okay, maybe 3/4" or wider.

I don't throw a decent small scrap away, as it may come in use one day.

What is a crumb square? I've never seen this before, or did not know what it was at the time. Sorry...I don't understand.

Now that actually sounds kinda fun! I might try that, I didn't know they made double sided fusible, but what a cute bag it would make. Thanks for the idea.
