I just loathed looking at the scraps I placed in the trash can when I was making clothing for the DH and all 8 children. But I wasn't 'into' quilting way back then. Now all the rug rats have grown and left home. I still make the DH shirts, because he is so picky about them. Anyway, I now take those scraps from the shirts and left over quilting and cut them into 1" squares. They will be a postage stamp quilt some day. (Hopefully)
