Save the larger for a scrappy braid quilt and the smaller for paper piecing! If you are very brave save them for a Postage Stamp or Oh My Gosh quilt. The Postage stamp uses one inch finished squares and The Oh My Gosh uses as small as 1/2 inch!

You could send them to me, just kidding. I think if you could incorporate them into the backing would be fun.

the quilt looks great.

i agree with you 100%, i hate the waste in quilting patterns these days when the patterns call for precuts like jellyrolls, layer cakes, turnovers, charms.

i was going to make a pattern using charms - they wanted you to buy 2 charm packs and you only need 4 charms out of the 2nd pack.

with the extra you have you could make a pillow or a handbag.

What about a baby postage stamp quilt or a disappearing 9 patch. It seems as all your colors are coordinating and some of the leftovers would look beautiful as your binding.

Gorgeous quilt. If you decide to sell your scraps, put me on the list.
