I don't cut down scraps either. I have a large pretzel jar that I throw the small pieces in and when it is full I usually ask who wants it. A friend of mine is in an assisted living facility and hasn't been able to quilt for years. Her daughter has given me all her fabric. There were so many bins of fabric she never touched. So another friend, Carol (who is my quilting buddy) and I went through each bin, we split the fabric we liked and gave what we did not want to a local thrift store. (I still have so much fabric that I am contemplating cutting out a fat quarter of each piece and give the rest away. There is so much I know I will never use - and why not put it in the hands of people that will. I would love to send it to folks here but it would an arm and a leg.
