I do the same thing and it is amazing all the wonderful looking quilt squares you can come up with. I keep all of my scraps no matter what size. Some go into confetti wall hangings.

Joym.....I'm with you, I crumb block quilt- I LOVE making these blocks and have a box full of them. Have made a king sized quilt with 4" blocks, over 15,000 pieces of fabric. some of those 4" blocks have over 50 pieces of different fabrics........crazy? yep, but stunning...my favorite quilt to date. The greatest part of being somewhat crazy about doing these is that my quilting friends DON'T keep lots of their little stuff, they give it to me and watch me use it. I also have string block quilts and wall hangings, I gift them.....the biggest investment is time and the longarmer, most of the fabrics are free.

Pay them forward ... 3/4 inch the smallest
or mile a minute, crumbs
sewn together makes a new fabric
