I now have 2 quilt shops that have a basket in the classroom and the students are encouraged to put there fabric and batting scraps in the basket. Last saturday we took 35 of the dog beds to the shelter. Where when going through the shelter found that they were still using some of the ones from the last trip.
Per my GRANDMOTHER "No fabric gets thrown away until the dong will have nothing to do with it"
Another great Idea-now I have two projects to fullfill. I guess I have to get quilting to make more scraps!
