I'm wondering if there are any good ideas out there to use these up on projects. She said she hates to throw them out (and, of course, I told her not to!). I'd appeciate any ideas you could throw at me. Like I need even more projects to do! :shock:

Thanks, and hope you all had a great weekend!
Unfortunately, we live in a VERY rural area, so I don't know of any Linus groups in this area. And, as quilters, we all know that fabric is HEAVY to mail. Maybe I should start a Linus group, or some type of quilting 'ministry'. Guess I should start making some quilting friends in the 'real world' somehow. The fabrics would be perfect for children, as most of them are brightly-colored and cartoon-ish, although they also do some kitchen-themed types of trivets, too.
