I use 1 1/2" strips for my log cabin blocks; my very favorite type of scrap quilt.
You can see them on this page of my webshots.

There's a woman in my guild that uses strips to create blocks in a circular pattern and the finished width of the strips are only about 1/16th of an inch wide. Yes, that's 1/16th of an inch. So the strips she uses are about 1/2 in wide and then she cuts down the seam allowance to reduce bulk as well. She calls the scraps "Kibbles and Bits" that she uses. Nothing is too small for her.

My scraps and crumbs cost the same $7-10 a yard as the big pieces, and that makes it hard to dump them. When I get too many or realize that I'll never get to them, I offer them here for free. In 5 minutes you get more takers than you could possibly imagine. I'm always surprised that a scrap or crumb quilt doesn't seem to make the pile of little pieces go down very much.

There are tutorials on how to make crumb blocks. My version I call confusion. You can search for that also if you like.
