Do you save the fabric that you cut off around the quilt when you square up? I trimmed my scallops and had quite a bit of extra fabric and batt with stitching on it. I picked the stitching out and added the scraps to my fabric scrap bin. The batt I added to my batt scrap box. I didn’t want a bunch of awkward pieces hanging around my sewing room but I didn’t want to throw them out either. Do you just pitch them?

No, I usually save them too.

I do. I have so much fabric that I don't hang on to small scraps. I don't need more fabric hanging around!

I save mine. I have a scrap pile I have made a couple of scrappy quilts and I am sure I will make some more

I save mine. Some of these pieces can be a pretty good size and I use them for previewing stitches or thread, etc. Have also used some in other quilts. I've used minky scraps for borders. If they are small, I try to through them away.

I do what you do, Tartan. As soon as I throw something out, that's when it's needed LOL

I keep them to practice my stitches but I don't need that much. For those who
use Elmer's glue for basting....how do you save your scraps when it's glued
together? Do you wash them?

I save them all, even the tiny fabric and batting scraps, and use them in a variety of different ways.

Since I quilt on a longarm I have 4" or more extra all around. Of course I save it! Often it's used for making binding strips, but it may go into another quilt. I also save batting, except for tiny strings.

I save it all. It can all be used somehow.
