I had one of 'those' boxes a few weeks ago. It had donated squares, 'smaller than a fat quarter' pieces, 2.5 " bias fabric rolls, plus some leftover sewn strips from the giver's projects. I sorted and put them in the appropriate drawers. Some of the strips are being used in scrappy strip blocks and the sewn strips, I cut into squares and triangles for an orphan block quilt top.
It felt good to get 'that box' emptied. I still have more though.
I finally will be able to go to my church quilting group tomorrow and our leader told me she has more scraps for me. Lol! I probably will come home with more scraps from another volunteer group this week also.
Good thing my subbing in school is over until after Labor Day! I need to keep sewing.

P.S. I even used the box that I emptied and put card stock and scrapbook paper in it and gave it to my friend. Reuse/repurpose-it's out of my house.
