Charities always need fabric, as local ports of charities do also....hospitals need children's quilts, hospice needs quilts to give to family members in time of a death in the family. You might make some new friends and feel good by helping others who are not blessed with as much as you are with fabrics. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we all are unique and different.
Thank you for your opinion on what I should be doing with my "mistakes". As you say, we are different. I was curious as to other's solutions. I do give a lot to charity - just not my ugly fabric.
