I have a lot of yard sale fabric that is either ugly or just not my taste. I make all kinds of donation quilts out of it. I try out new patterns, practice free motion quilting etc. I donate them to Ronald McDonald house, homeless shelters, pregnancy centers etc. Where they go often depends on what they look like when I finish them. Sometimes the uglies look good when added to other fabrics. The local Salvation Army has hooked up with the Marines Toys for Tots program and they collect doll quilts. They give away 700 to 800 dolls, like America Girl Dolls (the fake ones) every Christmas. Their goal is for each doll to have a quilt and at least 2 outfits. They would also like to give each little girl a quilt. That is what I use my garage sale fabric for.
