If you do applique they might be useful. I don't save anything smaller than two and ! half inch square. I like making 4 and 9 patch scrap quilts. Diane C.

You might cut them a tad smaller and put in a basket to hang in a tree outside and the birds will use for their nests

I keep a plastic bag hooked and hanging down under the front of my machine. Thread, small scraps and anything soft goes into it. When I have quite a bit, I use it to stuff pin cushions, soft dolls, doggie and kittie beds, etc. It helps to save on buying stuffing. Also any batting that I have left over from a quilt is used for pillows, dolls, and all of the above. I make these things to donate to a charity sewing group that is active in my area.
Was raised during the 40's and was taught never to waste anything. I'm sure if you don't want to do these sewing projects, you can find someone who will, or who knows some place to donate them to.

I would think you could toss those.

You could use them for stuffing a pillow or animal! :mrgreen: I never throw anything away when it comes to fabric or thread etc. :lol:

I am so with you! I hate the word "trash" referring to anything I pay for - even things that are free lol! I save scraps, (crumbs) no matter how small - lets face it they're small! take up no room and are easy to pick up/ store. I guess I dont scatter this stuff around where I sew; that make it nothing to pick up. I have a (Christmas present) popcorn can that holds a ton and you can pack them in and when you get it full use the crumb stuff anything.

Have you ever seen the Snippet books?? I make pot holders and wall hangings the Snippet method and they are beautiful.
Like painting with fabric. Using Wonder Under or something simular on the back of the fabric, then place the fabric in the figures you are going for ( tree, wreath, flower etc.) iron them on and away you go. So much fun. Good luck and let us know what you finally do with them.. Happy New Year. MNM

You would go crazy with the Accuquilt Go. Now they waste fabric...at least the dies do, the strip cutting is great.
I would send these to the trash.

I have a trunk full and in between inspiration for a new quilt, I play. Those pieces are certainly big enough for applique.
