Even the tiniest pieces are good for postcards, garbage can fabric, miniature quilt blocks, needle books, etc. etc. I try not to waste anything that I can think of a use for.

Now that is an AWESOME idea! I put my yarn bits out for the birds to use in their nests in the spring. But I like this idea even better!
