What to do with all the scraps?

I've gone through all my patterns and books and spent a week making a ruffle curtain (that still needs sme work) for my daughters room. (I used leftover fabric from the diaper covers I made for her). I made letter pillows for my daughter and youngest son (I have yet to make one for my oldest son) I am going to make kitchen appliance covers from some of the bigger pieces of fabric left. I am going to make some elastic headbands for my daughter. The letter pillows for my oldest son. I have patterns for decorative flowers I thought would look neat by using scraps. My biggest problem is I have a huge rubbermaid tote I am trying to empty and do not need anymore quilts. I promised my husband I would use up all of the fabric before I find any new things I need to make. most all of these are scraps that I haven't had the heart to just throw away ( I hate wasting things that are still useable) There are a lot of pieces big enough to make something with but not a yard so I might be able to make a simple skirt for my daughter.

Please help me out with some ideas I really want to be able to use as many of these pieces as I can to sew things with or make projects in some form.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe stuffed animals and use some of the left over bits to stuff them with?

You can scrap together headbands with elastic in the back
