I hate throwing my stuff away. I have a large collapsal clothes hamper by my sewing machine that I put large scraps in and plastic bags I keep smaller ones in. I even go through the scrap box as my LQS and fill quart size baggies for $5.00. There was a suggestion on this board that we exchange strips for nickle quilts and I think thats a great idea. It would be fun to see how many different ones we would get.

About now I feel like the guy who tries to finish the internet...it just isn't going to happen! :lol: So...do you throw this stuff away, do you keep it until you use, do you close the door & don't worry about using it?
