Trash. I save 2.5" x 2.5" as my smallest pieces. Look into the program called Scrap Therapy as they teach you waht sizes to save and how to make scrap quilts from the pieces.

I would most likely throw them away unless I wanted to make a pet pillow and possibly use them as stuffing. Might be fun to play with them and try some of the artsy quilt stuff - like the fabric postcards, etc.

If you want to do some raw edge applique, scraps that size can be surprisingly uselful. I keep a shoe box for bits that size and it's amazing how often you search through them.

I was cutting 1/4" wide strips for some fusing last year, but these are really too small to save, in my opinion.

At least 3 of the white are trash, the blue has possibilities. I do paper piecing & some areas are pretty small. Think about what would be left after seam allowances are taken up.

great for crumb blocks and scrappy look for recycling empty containers with decopage also for some smaller pieces for paper piecing especially minis

I went to a baby shower on Sunday and one lady made a quilt then used tiny pieces like these on the front of a blank card and stitched over them to cordinate with the blanket. Was very artistic.

Sorry but those are just too small for me.

Saw this in August, I love the idea - there are no small pieces when you can do things like this:

If this link pasted into your browser doesn't work, search for a tutorial titled "Fabric from the Garbage Can". I've been keeping a small trash can ever since I saw it. I don't keep selvage fabric though, but will start now to give for pet beds.

I figure even if I throw it out, I'm still responsible for it. I put emissions into the air to acquire it, used electricity (more emissions) for prewashing, ironing and making something with it, and all the little pieces will break down some day but not until the plastic trash bag I threw them into breaks down. I can't wait to see what I can create with a trash can full o' scraps.
