Some people like to donate these to the animal shelters in their communities. Keep in mind that lots of us enjoy making scrap quilts, if you are one that does not and still want to use the fabric this is one way to do it.
What a good idea! I've been working on some scrap quilts and didn't like throwing away the "scraps of my scraps". Now I know what to do with them. We have a great animal shelter in Glasgow, KY. I got my Samson there - big orange cat. Actually I brought him there and then adopted him - but that's another story. I know just the pillowcase I'm going to use. Thanks for the tip.
