Schnibbles!! I love it!! my wastebasket is usually full of schnibbles.

I heard about felting also, DH wanted to use the blender and water to mix them all up. I vetoed that idea pretty quick.

You can use small pieces, under 1" for fabric postcards.

Uh-oh. I guess my definition is the pictures I have posted on my scrap post. LOL. Seriously though, I send people 1-3" on request and larger. Scraps is anything left over from a project, what I gather up from the quilt retreats (the waste) and fabric I have no idea why I bought in the first place. This is a fun post.

if i cut a fabric for a project what ever does not go into the project is a scrap from that project. if it is larger than a fat quarter it is folded and put away. if it is smaller than a fat quarter it depends on it...strips go with strips, little squares, triangles in one basket, odd ball usable pieces go in the applique tote. skinny strips go in the rug hooking basket.

anything left over from another project.

don't throw your scraps away, always someone can use them!

To me a scrap is a piece of fabric smaller than a fat quarter. If you can buy 1/4 yd or a fat quarter then it should not be a scrap...just my opinion...

"ONe quilter's scraps is another quilter's treasure, no matter how small or big"

Listening to you talk, I think I need another storage system for my "scraps" (for me anything less than a FQ - I like scrappy quilts so I can put to use just about anything). Right now I just toss them all together, but it would probably be beneficial to have some sense of order to it all... I have those open, stacking baskets next to my sewing cabinet/area that I just toss cut pieces into, then I rummage if/when I need something for another project. Not too efficient I guess...

Deb...love the cartoon...I made a Renfaire costume out of the tapestry upholstry fabric that is on one of the side chairs in my livingroom...guess I shouldn't sit in that chair with my tapestry dress on!
