I knew someone like that, she had hers in a shoe box. I kid you not!!! When she was finished she "threw away" the left overs because she didn't think she would have a use for it. Well, we quilt friends changed her mind right away after we sat there and got into an argument about who would receive her left overs. Got her to thinking, maybe there was some value in those leftovers after all. She now has a pretty good stash, but still doesn't buy extra large pieces for future use, like theme fabric or backings. Just shaking my head at this!!! Jan
