    Are they realistically useable? I am on tight budget and dont want to waste anything.

    Thanks for your input.

    More along the trash size, the seam allowance is bigger than a couple of those pieces.

    To me, the 3 smallest are trash, but the others are crumbs. Those I would save and pass on to someone on the board who would want them. I have a crumb container and when it gets full, I post it in the pay it forward and away it goes. I personally would not use them, but I'm glad someone does.

    I would use the larger ones. But if you can't think of a use for them or know of someone who can use them then they are trash. I never keep something that I can't use. "Just because" is not a good enough reason. Now if my house was like some of those stretchy garbage bags and would expand to contain everything then perhaps I could/would save everything. :-)

    I would say trash. I save a lot of scraps, but not that small. I really need to make a scrappy quilt with all those scraps I'm saving (for a rainy day I guess) lol.

    If you make your own greeting cards, you could use those for something on them. I saw 2 different cards yesterday a friend received of a scarf, hat and mittens on a white card and the other had hearts on it with mini snowflakes on it.

    If you do art quilts, you can use any size fabric. Lay them out on foundation fabric, top with netting and free motion quilt to your hears content.

    I would say trash as well - They look like they would turn into nothing when you tried to sew them together - if your machine didn['t eat them first.
