    At a local quilt show I saw a jacket made entirely of printed selvedges, imagine that , it was the coolest thing, if only I had saved my selvedges!

    I made a crumb quilt with my scraps.

    The blocks I'm making now have smaller pieces than the above quilt does. Quilting with no rules!
    I like your crumb quilt! I like that name too.

    I bought a box of clear Christmas ornaments. The ones they use for crafts and used some of the snippets from my project and cut extremely small and filled the ornament. They are colorful and you can mark the year and project and have a keepsake you only have to use once a year that will bring back memories. You could even hang in sewing room as decoration.

    Happy scraps.

    I sew a "bag" out of material I don't really don't want to use in a quilt (you know - some of that "what was I thinking when I bought this material"). Leave one end open then put my little scraps in it until it's full. Sew it closed and then donate it to the local animal shelter. I also made one for my cat who loves it.

    You can also use very small pieces of fabric and all loose theads for home-made paper. I used to make it, but not anymore!
