You're my kind of person. I love using scraps and leftovers, just to make less waste in this world. We need to think about how much waste we make. I just had my 100 year old garage re-roofed with metal. I told the workers (Amish) to use whatever color they had left over from other jobs. The front needed to be sort of matched, but the back could be anything. They did a beautiful job. Looks like a jelly roll quilt! ! !
