As you can see and read, you have lots of options. For me it depends on the size of the scrap - I make them into the following things: gift bags, 2" squares, strips for log cabin blocks, cool scarves, landscape quilts, yo-yos for future flowers on quilts/wall hangings, pot holders, trivets, scrappy blocks for future quilts, strip quilts and etc... The list is endless, let your imagination run free.

Last year I spent about a monthe ironing and cutting up my scraps into usable sizes (see quiltville's Bonnie Hunter) and now they are all organized and ready to use. Worth it with today's fabric prices!

I have even taken a couple of yards of muslin and cut them into quarters, and made a quilt that way, I keep muslin squares cut all the time, but you can use different shapes of muslin also, I have seen one cut into a diamond shape , it makes lovely quilts. and I ususally back them with flannel, so they arent' so heavy, but still warm/

I either cut them up ala Bonnie Hunter style and use them as leaders and enders OR sew them into blocks for charity quilts ala:
