And another idea, I don't do this, but I have read on here also, for those smaller scraps, toss them in a plastic bin or basket once you have enough, pile them on your cutting mat and cut randomly to very small pieces to use as filling in donation dog/cat beds. I myself thought that was brillant.
Quiltahmama ~That is what i am currently doing. I got a new puppy and the breeder gramma makes a pillow for each puppy with her scraps and I liked the idea. So I am chopping up mine and gathering them for that reason...
