You can give them to a quilter that is just starting out. I received a bagful from a friend who was downsizing when I was just in the early days of my quilting hobby. There were sizes and shapes I would not necessarily have bought for myself, but once exposed to them learned the benefits of them. I also got some bloc locs and half geese ruler that I would have NEVER known existed. It was a generous gift and it really helped me :-)
