Carly- those bibs are great! Would you share where I can get the pattern? I've been saving the buttons in jars. If they are a nice matched set or have some sort of logo on them I keep them together in a small jewelry bag in case I decide to make "something". Some cuffs have enough fabric to get a small piece of fabric from, but most I pitch. Ditto for the buttonhole placket and collar. The seams are good as firestarters or tying up garden plants. Don't burn anything with poly interfacing. I don't put fabric scraps out for the birds. Threads can easily entangle or choke critters, and cotton takes a long time to dry out after a storm. Unrelated to quilting but PLEASE don't release helium balloons. The strings entangle animals, and the balloons cause the death of whales, turtles, and dolphins hundreds of miles away when mistakenly eaten as jellyfish. I used to scuba and find such debris wrapped around coral or floating around the boat.
