This is me as well. I only buy for projects - no 'stash' buying. I have lots of scraps that could be odd pieces up to a couple of yards. I use the odd bits to make test blocks; home dec projects; gifts; etc. I'm not a 'scrappy' quilter. If I hear of someone who needs something I may have in my 'scraps' they are certainly free to a good home.
