This is too funny.
I just spent a few days cutting scraps into 2 1/2" and 3" squares and strips. I started with a few large grocery bags. I now have 2 full ziplock bags with the squares and a few grocery bags full of the too small pieces. I have sorted but not cut the strips yet as I was doing this at someone else's home.
All the scraps go to our local Humane Society for pet bedding.
However, after doing all this and hardly making a dent in the fabric, or so it seems. My new pledge is noting less that 3" ... and bigger is preferred.
I'll donate the rest of the sizable pieces to one of my quilting groups for others to use.
I, hopefully, will be making the squares and strips as I go from now on. Notice I said 'hopefully.'
