Yes please donate ! I had too much as well, many members here are happy to pat postage , I mailed 138 bucks in postage last week 10 boxes of stuff ! I have more PM's waiting on me to get more ready . There are so many that are happy to get fabric as well as scraps and even crumbs . People on limited income barley make it let alone have money to buy fabric, even the least expensive fabrics.

omg! all you QB members are just amazing..... yesterday I saw a post and a picture of a members quilt that she put together with all her 2 1/2 in sqrs beautiful....and quiltE yours is beautiful also... I purposely bought a 2 1/2 in. sqr ruler and I cut whatever left over I have if the scrap is to small I throw it out,unless it's a long strip then I save for strip piecing now have a box full of 2 1/2 in blocks and can't even begin on how to make them work other then patch blocks nothing compare to the beauties I see here done with scraps

All those pieces you have leftover will make lots more new quilts. Small strips are great for 4Ps, 9Ps, log cabins, piano key borders, etc. For inspiration take a look at the many Scrappy Quilts here ... http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t135936.html The blocks that didn't make it, and became orphans, can go together for a sampler type of quilt. They don't have to be set in an orderly fashion, or all in the same colour coordinated fabric, but can go all helter skelter in a more modern sampler style. Here's one for an idea for you ... [ATTACH=CONFIG]406569[/ATTACH] Every time I see this quilt, I love it more! My pattern for it came in the mail today--can't wait to begin planning it. :) |
