Default Do you ever get rid of old fabric that is poor quality?

When I started quilting 9 years ago I bought primarily from Fabricland (quality is halfway between Joannes and quilt stores) and would cross the border and occasionally get fabric from Joannes, rarely bought from quilting stores. I kept to my budget!

Over the years my income has increased and I have stopped buying from Joannes, become more picky at Fabricland and have turned more to quilt stores for nicer fabrics. I finally sorted through all of my fabric and organized it by colour and about 15% is terrible fabric...and I really want to toss it but I feel so guilty. Mostly because I think of the money wasted.

Part of me wants to just place a little here and there in quilts but part of me worries more about the fabric breaking down. I make bed and couch quilts so it will get worn down anyway.

I assume many of us started buying poor quality, would you toss it? I wouldn't have any other use for it.
