Yesterday, I went through 1/3 of a laundry basket full of various fabrics. Some were scrap pieces and I remembered to cut them first because I would have more variety for my quilts. Thanks for the tip!
DH came into the kitchen today and said you must be testing fabric, again. :-) Yup..... Those pieces with polyester were identified, marked and placed in the donation bag.
Having done some sorting/ decluttering yesterday I rewarded myself by doing my first scrappy Many Trips Around the World as described on quiltville.com site. I even pieced one square in order to complete the pattern. Years ago, I would have never even considered doing that as everything just had to be exactly perfect. I am so grateful that I have matured in my outlook. :-)
