I'm with you all. I even keep the "unusable" scraps. I just made 4 kitty pillows for our no-kill cat shelter in West Linn. I have enough unusables to make at least 10 more and still have some old material I need to use up. The rest I am saving and will try to make a scrappy quilt or two - when I have time. I also have my sewing room in the lower part of our tri-level. I can just close the door and no one knows what is lurking there unless I want them to.
