There's a cute footstool called a Morracan Pouf. There's a free pattern online. You could use those scraps to fill it. I've just started collecting the trash. I keep every thing that can be cut and now I'm saving all those little scraps I cut off when trimming. I agree, fabric is so expensive so I try to use every little bit. I have enough good scrap to make dozens of quilts. Some day I will!
