Would you even bother?

what a beautiful little floral quilt!
i don't throw anything away. i save everything over 3/4" for my miniatures & larger scrap quilts. i also do a lot of fussy cutting. over the years i have learned how valuable these swiss cheesy fabric remains can become if i just take the time to carefully fold to reduce the wrinkling, and keep them intact. i don't cut up any of my scraps into "useable" sizes, because sizes i need vary according to pattern design i have created. i would treasure your floral remains, i see large patches, small fussy cutting opportunities, nice strings for mini log cabins & other string quilts. what a wonderfully desireable & useful remnant you have there!

I think if you want to finish cutting it up, you could make square blocks to use in a border, like one would use piano strips for. Just a matter of choice for you. I would probably cut it up myself, but then I was taught to cut things and save every piece of fabric, by mother who grew up during the Great Depression, so now I just hate to waste fabric.
