I donate my scraps to the local quilt group that does quilts for the county abused women's center, since they often arrive with nothing. They would be glad to have fabric from anyone. There is one elderly lady that uses pieces everyone else won't mess with. I am sure there is a local group like that in your area.

I keep one drawer for PPing scraps and another for snippets and landscape art.

Alot of paper piecing you need very small pieces. Also some times you can create your own fabric from them. Just take a piece of muslin and sew the little piece on to it as if you are paper piecing. Then you can cut your shapes from it. Works great

I'll go as small as 3/4".

I do minis, crumbs, and an Omigosh quilt. Uses lots of tiny pieces.
Someone would be happy to take your smaller pieces if you don't want them. :)

I normally don't keep anything smaller than 2-1/2". I do a lot of applique, but I rarely need anything smaller than that. All of the rest (including trim off pieces), goes in a bag too be given to a woman who uses it for stuffing for dog beds at the local shelter

I keep everything. The scraps that are too small to sew I put into pet beds. I even save the threads that I've cut off to make thread bowls.

I just use the small scraps for stuffing pillows and mix it with scrap batting and cut up foam. The smallest scrap I sew with is 2 inches.

I just started throwing ALL my scraps in a box under my cutting table. I just saw a really cute pillow made with left over selvages. I don't know when or if I will use them but I started saving them. In WI my LQS charges 10.95 for batiks. They have rows and rows of gorgeous batiks that I love. At that price nothing is a "scrap" anymore.

that is a good idea. I have wondered how to store small scraps if I decided to save them.
