Scraps
#33
I tend to save really small pieces. I just finished a quilt with leaves on the border and almost all the different colored leaves were cut from pieces in my green scrap box from strips 1" to pieces as small as 1 1/2" square. I don't know why I keep such pieces, but it is fun to use them.

I even take the little bitty pieces and little pieces of thread and put them in the bushes for bird nest. kids thought it was kinda cool when they were little to find the nest with moms "pretty stuff" in them.
Never throw anything away. There is always a use for it.
