I have been saving them for about two year. I keep about and inch of the fabric on the salvage. I had not plans for them but at my guild's last retreat one of the gals made place mats out of them and they were lovely, practical and would take a lot of use. So, place mates I will make. I have seen lots of nice suggestions on this thread to have fun it you wish. If your choose not to save then, don't let peer pressure push you into it. Be your own gal and enjoy your fabric.
