In the past, I haven't been much of a scrap quilter... but have not been able to "let go" of the scraps.
Well, earlier this year, I made Bonnie's Pineapple Blossom out of scraps, and En Provence was from my existing stash, so I'm getting better. The Moda Block Shuffle last year (or was that the year before?) also got me using my scraps more as well.

I also discovered that a lady at church is a beginning quilter, so I went through my stash and grabbed a boatload of not just scraps, but yardage as well, and gave her quite a bit of stuff to get her started... including a thread stand (I have something else I use for that), thread, and several books that I was tired of.

At this point, I'm not pre-cutting... unless I just want to get something out of the way. Then, if a fabric falls into the "WHAT was I thinking?!?!?" category, it's definitely fair game to be precut.
