As quilters we have lots of scrap batting and fabrics, or all the quilters I know do, so it's a great way to use it up. It takes only a little time and fabrics to lifts someone's day. And you get a lift as well by donating. I also make Quilts of Valor and small community quilts that are given to the police to give out at emergencies. I have all the quilts I and my family can use so It feels good to pass along something I love doing. In 50+ years of quilting, I have only sold one quilt. I did not enjoy the experience.
