I have scion wood left over from spring grafting I never got
to use as intended.  (My year hasn't gone much as planned.)
Last I checked it was still in good condition.  (This is 
mainly apple wood.) Should I:

Do a normal whip&tongue graft. My concern here is if it takes, 
the new growth would be killed by frosts (avg. killing frost: 
October 15th)

Use buds from it to do T or Chip budding.  My question here is 
how successful is budding using spring scion wood (plus I 
wouldn't be forcing growth 'until next spring).  Is there a 
difference in success in this between T or chip budding (I'm 
leaning toward the ease of T-budding.

Throw the stuff away and try to replace the stuff next spring?

Thanks for your replies.
