I am guilty of not organizing my scraps and accumulated a huge bin of scraps. So when my machine had to go in for a checkup and was gone for 2 weeks I did begin to tackle that bin. I got hallway through it before my machine returned. I just cut mine into blocks or strips whichever I could get with the least waste of fabric. Then I saved the tiny pieces and gave to a friend who does miniature quilts. Nothing wasted!
