I'm like you...I have a lot of little pieces and not a bunch of neatly color coordinated piles of fabric sitting idly on a shelf.
When I get tired of shuffling the odds and ends from other projects, I make a scrappy quilt or a child's dolly quilt.
I don't have a huge stash as I buy what I need to make a quilt and get rid of the excess as mentioned above. :lol:
