Welcome from "one the road", currently the sunshiny, warm tropical Srate of Michigan. Can't wait to leave with the rest of the population before Christmas. Glad you decided to join us. And whatever you do, don't get rid of those scraps. It's amazing how one small 1" strip or 2" square can be the perfect fabric for the applique piece you need. I have scraps from ten years ago, and I used them on applique quilts. Stash, stash and more stash. If you're worried about it, just find a way to organize it so you can easily find what you are looking for. Best of luck and hope you enjoy the Board.
