the bigger squares of scrap i back with flannel or minky & make cat beds for the animal shelter..i keep a small wastebasket in my sewing room & throw in the trimmings of the tops & threads & leftovers...when its full i take a flannel pillowcase i fill it & drop that off also at the animal shelter...its washable or when it gets too dirty, they can just throw it away, but some shelter animal enjoyed it for awhile...its amazing how fast it fills up...its fun to walk thru the shelter & see the pets enjoying the beds ive made....monica in texas
