I am glad my sewing space in in the basement.. guests don't see my "stuff" unless they are very "quilter friendly". That way I don't have to provide any "reason" for the "stuff".
I used to think, "Why would I need to save strips an inch wide?" I put a whole bunch of them into a bag, thinking I could give them to someone, instead of throwing them away. Well, recently on a major reorganization of my sewing room, I found that bag and reclaimed them. I used 3/4" strips on a quilt a couple years ago. So I know the possibility of me using those inch wide strips could happen.
