With my scraps....all go into a basket...when basket is full I start cutting them into usable pieces....10" squares, or 5" squares or 2 1/2 in squares...or into 2 1/2 in strips or 1 1/2 strips. Anything smaller than those goes to a group I meet with and all scrap batting and fabric and thread goes into bags to fill pillows for the cats at a local animal shelter...the cats just love their pillows...room enough inside to push around the filling to nest themselves for a nice nap. I then use the 2 1/2 strips for jelly rolll quilts or borders, same for the 1 1/2 in strips (usually borders) the 10 in is for layer cake patterns and the 5 in is for charm pack patterns....hope this helps
