I have a friend like that. She doesn't save her scraps either, she gives them to a lady who makes charity quilts. She is one of those people who has a place for everything and everything in its place (wish I was a little more like that). I have a small stash usually pieces I really liked with at least an idea which quilt or pattern I'd use it in. I've forced myself to do this for a few reasons; first, I have a very small house and my sewing area is in the loft and storage is an issue; second, the more stuff I have the more anxious I get about completing my projects. For me it is just better to not have too much stuff.
