Sounds like scrappy binding to me! Also, there's the technique of making HST by sewing 2 strips together, then cutting the triangles. I didn't like this method because the edges wind up on the bias, but if your strips are on the bias, the HST would wind up on the grain. I think there's a tutorial on this board.

Make string blocks with them. This involves sewing to a paper or muslin foundation. There have been some recent threads on doing this using coffee filters for the foundation. Try searching on "coffee filters".

You can roll them up and put them in a pretty glass vase or jar just to sit on a shelf.

I guess I don't understand your dilemma. It is fabric, regardless of it's shape. Make a scrap quilt of some type. Use it in foundation piecing. I have a boxes of various limbs that are leftovers, if you would like to donate to my madness, I'll be happy to take them off your hands. :-)
