I have used tiny pieces with fusible on them to do a matching gift card. I cut out little shapes, peel off the paper and dry iron press the shapes to form a picture on the gift card. I also save a few pieces in an envelope with the quilt name on it in case I need a repair applique in the future.

We had a guild workshop using snippets. Here's my rendition (about 24 inches). My sister was here just before Christmas; she liked it so it went home with her One of the gals made a small version of a wreath on onsaberg fabric and embroidered JOY underneath and stuck it in a small 3 x 4 frame. Really simple and very classy.[ATTACH=CONFIG]315976[/ATTACH]

Thanks for the suggestions. I think because I love the colors that these scraps are in I will start a scrap box for fusible scraps. I love the snippit idea. I will have to look more into it. Some of the pieces are big enough to use for stuff like that. No pictures to post.

I save those & any other scraps in a big bag for grandkids. The boys love to "sew". I made a "sandwich" of a rectangle of muslin front & back with thin batting. When the boys are over & not entrenched in DS I put them each at a machine & let them sew. They love to try all the stitches-usually I put in a colored thread. The 10 yr old over laps his like a crazy quilt & the 7 yr old puts them all over. Even if they get trashed in the end it's great practice for them.
