I find the quilt is relieved to know it is going to someone who can actually USE it, rather than just stashing it. And I have been allowing myself to throw out scraps that I know I will never in a million years use. I had some scraps left from some clothes I made for a lady, the fabric wasn't anything I like, so after storing it for 6 months I let it go to the trash bin. I tell you, having the water mess last week changed my prospective a lot. No more wicker baskets of fabric sitting around, and no more holding new unsorted fabric in the boxes they came in.
