I have been putting my scraps onto fusible sheets 19in x19 and when I get a chance sewing straight lines. I will either donate to my craft class or make a few fabric boxes with them. Getting them out of my scrap bins#
I have tried uploading a picture with no luck!....the picture icon does not work for me.

I made this with my scraps and quilted it with stitch in the ditch. I’m going to make a computer sleeve out of it as soon as I finish the 2 quilts I’m working on. This is 17 inches x 24 inches (45 cm x 61cm).

I didn't keep small scraps. Recently, I began keeping strips. One gallon ziplock bag has 2.5 inch strips, for a future jellyroll, and one bag has other strips. My "scraps" are usually the extra backing trimmed after sandwiching my quilt, about a foot wide sometimes. I have them folded and sorted into two stacks: solid/not solids. I haven't made a scrappy quilt, yet, but am quite inspired by the onesI see here.
I ordered a set of six clear tubs/lids to separate scraps by color. I made 2 stacks of 3 containers. The solids are inside a baggie in the tub. I still have a larger tub with multi-colored pieces that needs to be sorted, but quilting gets in the way.
BTW, I love scrappiness!

I make them into hears for the I Found a Quilted Heart program.

It is something my husband and I do together and then hand them where ever we go.
