I feel your pain. In cleaning an area I found 30 yards of flannel, bought to make receiving blankets with crocheted edges for babies. Instead of finding a different spot to store the fabric I cut it all to size, serged the edges and over the past year I crocheted the edges of all the blankets. I also found 3 stacks of jeans that I've been saving to make a quilt. Now I am cutting off the pockets, cutting the long french seam (to roll up and use for coasters) and cutting circles out of the fabric. So far I have over 200 circles cut out and the stack of jeans is much smaller. The leftover scraps will be donated for dog beds. It isn't easy to destash -- I've found I really need to concentrate on using up what I have. It takes a long time!
