I'm the quilter from CA with the Keeshond, and I believe we met at the NH keepsake quilting shop. I couldn't do a 1/8 inch seam, I'm sure.

I saw a beautiful rug knit on size 35 needles that was made of narrow strips of fabric. It was on crazymomquilts.blogspot.com.

You could make a skinny log cabin with them. Use some large and then some small pieces alternating them.

I must not have a very good imagination...I just throw them away. I don't know if I'ld have the patience to sew all those tiny pieces together. LOL The quilt in the pic is very nice, though.

I know it is not artistic, nor a challenge, but . . . . . Put any small scrap into an old pillowcase and sew it closed. Using a long basting stitch to quilt it into sections. Thus creating a sleep mattress for abandoned pets at a local shelter. They don't care if it is pretty or not.

If I'm adding a border to a quilt I almost always begin with a 1" strip to enclose the quilt before adding a larger border.
