What do you make with your fabric scraps?

I was thinking of making a cool wreath! Also to save them to make some bookmarks!

Quilts and rag rugs, Carol have you posted any of your rag rugs on this site? Would love to see them, I do not make my rugs from scraps more recycled clothing.

Gal, the rugs are crocheted. My mom use to cut up our old clothes and crochet rugs. I have a crocheted rug in the one bathroom. I would have more but my daughter sneaks them out of the house because she likes them. I've seen them with a the raw edges folded inside, but I just crochet them with the edges raw. They wash up fine.

I don'y make the rugs like you posted, I bought a used hook, cutter and have the backing but I haven't tried one yet. Can I email you when I start?

I just mentioned to my DH that I have so many scraps I will soon make a scrappy quilt. I also like to use them for paper piecing. I have made a lot of crocheted rugs and baskets but I usually use non quilting fabrics for them.

I like to cut mine into 5 inch squares when I can.
You can do so much with these charm squares.

I am working on a double-wedding ring quilt. Only thing is, I don't have many scraps so I have gone through what I have and am having to buy fat quarters.

I take my small scraps to my local guild. One of the ladies uses it to stuff animal beds and donates them to the local humane society.
