I have the same problem. My mil gave me a bunch of poly scraps (3 boxes) that her mom had put my name on. Our guild makes bears for the EMS folks to carry with them to give to kids at accidents and fires. I think I will make bears out of as much as I can. I have a bunch of poly 9-patch blocks that DH's grandmother (same one) made from old slacks of DH back in the 80's. I guess I'll make a quilt out of those for my son. That's who Vernie started the quilt for. It'll be good for picnics or just sitting on at the park.
