I am another that thinks it is a shame to throw out fabric. I had two pieces of fabric, one was a fleshy pink that would not go with anything. The other was a small green and white check which turned into yucky grey when I tried to put it with any other pieces. Well I was given a bunch of scrap from ladies I was quilting with and when I was convalescing and bored I started to sew them together into a crumb quilt. Well it seemed rather dark to me and I put in the fleshy pink and ended up using the green check for sashing and the both work great. I was ready to donate both of them. I have even been given blocks and taken them apart and used the pieces I liked and donated the rest. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
