Wow! Such good suggestions! I too am trying to make quilts (throw size) only using my stash. I plan to give them for Christmas gifts spending more time and less money for gifts this year. I have made a couple of scrappy tops using 2 inch strips that I cut from leftovers as I acquire them so they are ready to go. Using fabric I already have for backing, borders, and binding makes them an inexpensive gift. I also piece large batting scraps and save smaller pieces for stuffing. Thanks for all the good ideas.
