i give all my scraps to a friend who loves them.

scrippy-scraps (anything smaller than 2") used to go into the dog-bed bag.
then we found out that stuffed dog beds were actually harmful to many shelter dogs.
they chew through the top, eat the stuffing, and then get all sorts of ailments - too often fatal.

the only thing i throw out is something i know can't be scrappified or that will not survive a trip through the laundry. the one nearly finished quilt i tossed fell into that category for me.

i once spent hours and hours resizing a pile of ill-made half-square triangles and squares others had miscut.
now they mock me from the project bag. but they will get used. someday. lol
