I had 100's of little triangle pieces cut off quilts I made and knew Id never use them so posted on here to ask if anyone wanted some scraps.. (and I got a slap on the wrist because I posted in the "wrong section".. ) LOL..anyhow I ended up going thru fabric that Ive had for years...probably will NEVER use so I mailed 4 different women a box apiece of fabric that I hope they would use in charity quilts...Fabric I bought years ago at Wal Mart..when it was cheaper....florals I would never use..etc...Guess what?? My drawers have filled back up with yet more fabric that I may never use! LOL I agree its expensive to mail but it felt good to give back to people!! None of it was solid color...some was scraps but most was cuts of fabric I wouldnt use.. Ive got 32 baggies made...looks like I might need 8 more!

Kasaundra - I have extra that I'd be quite willing to mail to you in exchange (wink wink 
) LOL It would be nice to have enough finished blocks for a queen quilt.
sewbizgirl - you're right, I probably got the name wrong. What did you make with it? Mine has been in storage pretty much since I bought it.
GramE - Tell your grandchild "Thanks" for their service. The Coasties worked as hazardous materials inspectors in Iraq when I was there. Doubt that happens as often now, but drug interdiction and pollution control as well as rescue is a BIG job.
Cheers!

I have made a couple of Engelbreit wall hangings and also used this fabric in I Spy quilts. It mostly sits in my stash.
