You could also use some of that excess material for one of the friendly quilts we make for people from time-to-time. When the need strikes ( like someone is sick, loses a loved one, is down in the dumps - all kinds of reasons that we feel a quilt would HELP), someone takes charge and PMs others, and a bunch of us go into action, make a block or 2 apiece (pun intended) and send them to the person who has said she'll assemble them. Gets done practically overnight and sent on to the person who has said she'll deliver it.
