I have way too much new fabric to use. Our old clothes and outgrown clothes go to goodwill.
My old Grandaughters other Grandma has me quilting baby quilts she has hand embroidered for her Grandkids and 3 Great Grands. All of them are new so I don't mind finishing them for her. I don't like it but, I will do them. She has bad knees and just sits and embroidery. Of course, she can't sew and she knows I do.
I would not salvage any thing. Just not my thing.
