What do you do with your fabric scraps?

Sometime last year I started saving almost all of my fabric scraps.  So, you're probably thinking I mean anything larger than 2 or 3 inches, right?  Well, not quite!  Here's what I'm doing to recycle my left-over fabric scraps.

La Passacaglia Quilt - More Progress

I completed my fourth round, cog, rosette (whatever you want to call it) for the La Passacaglia quilt.  Continuing in my quest to complete this ingenious pattern using English Paper Piecing, I'm finding the fussy cutting to be the most tedious.  I think I need to spend less time worrying about where to cut and just cut from the same place in the fabric pattern and let serendipity happen.
