I throw away fabric pieces that I'm sure others would be mad as hell at me. I have no room for small pieces of fabric. Three inch pieces get tossed in the garbage all the time. I throw away strips, also. I have four doctor bags full of pieces of fabric and I've never used them. I could be using those bags for other things. I should open them and empty them. I'm a tosser.

Some people love small scraps.

*making a list of QB'rs whose trash I need to go through*
I love messed up/test/loner/straggler/leftover blocks...I randomly slice them in 2 or 3 different directions and use the resulting chunks as starters for crazy quilt blocks. Or if they're small enough I leave them intact and just add stuff to them to make my crazy block. I loooove crazy quilts! They're so fun and relaxing to do and they keep my scrap bin under control.
