I'm using up my stash making children's quilts for a local women's resource center. I make them 45" x 36" so it takes a yard of backing and a yard of batting. I figure the cost to be under $20.00 each, and I make a couple a month. The last time I went in the person at the front desk said, "Oh, great, it's the quilt lady!" That made me feel so good because I know I'm helping someone out.
