You've decided to save your fabric scraps. But what should be saved? When is a fabric scrap too small to be saved?
--You need to allow a 1/4" seam all around a scrap whether you are piecing or doing applique. If the fabric scrap is too small once you take away the 1/4" seam allowance, then the scrap can be discarded.
--What size scrap are you comfortable working with? If you do not want to work with small pieces of fabric, then the scrap is too small for you to save.
Small fabric scraps can be pieced together to make larger fabric, but many small pieces means many seam allowances. That means a bulky (and bumpy) finished piece of larger fabric.
Ultimately, the decision of what fabric scraps to save is up to you. Have fun deciding!
