What do you do with them? They definitely take up space. Thanks for any suggestions.
I like to double pad under some pictures on some quilts. For example, I made a quilt with pictures of various sneakers and I padded some of them. The recipient loves to feel the raised sneakers when she goes to sleep. She says it feels as if she is a baby snuggling all over again! (I stitched around the pattern of the sneaker to be sure it doesn't move.)
Enjoy your quilting!
