It's the best thing I think to use whatever in the quilts! It all looks good together and yes I don't save any fabric back for tomorrow. I too cut pieces out of 3 yd. or 4 yd. cuts! I didn't really want that outer border but wanted to use up some large scale floral to carry the theme of the quilt outward. My DM made pillows out of the navy fabric in the border (30 yrs ago) so I used up what was left over and I think it worked out well. Yes, we have to leave it all behind for someone else. I enjoy making each quilt as if it'll be the last one I make and scrappys are the BEST! Thank you, lil lulu!!
