I press them, cut then cut into "frames" for 4 1/2" I spy blocks. Then sew into Linus quilts.

I throw them in the garbage. I saved all my scraps for years, and then realized that I very seldom used them. I would much rather save whatever storage room I have for yardage.

I use them in string quilts or for a fun scrappy look on kid's charity quilts

I'm w/Mitch's Gram. I wrap them together and tie for later use. I love scrap quilts and like using scraps on the binding as well.

If you don't want it, donate it to your local charity quilt group, I am sure they can find a use for it...

I use those pieces to bind scrappy quilts and also to make the scrappy quilts with.

I think using the strips of binding randomly for children's quilts makes the quilt festive, so when I have leftover strips, i save them for that purpose.

Before I started making all mine 2 1/2 inches, I would press them flat and cut them into 2" squares. I have a set of scrappy 1 1/2", 2" and 2 1/2" ready to go next time I just want to sew something.
