What a hoot! I hadn't thought of leaving the lights on...mine are double duty naughty. They multiply by leaps and bounds. I love scrap quilts and my favorite block is the Dresden Plate so that pattern lends itself to using up my scraps but I still have alot and will NEVER turn down a bag of scraps from my quilty friends who DO NOT like scraps. I agree with another board member, "Never throw fabric away...that's just too awful to think about."
Hooray to the person who uses hers for animal shelter blankets. They are always in need of these small creature comforts for the animals.
