I had to laugh with you toogie, everyone thinks I am crazy too. I go to a small quilt group (really just a few people-not a quilt guild) or will when we can again. Everyone there saves their scraps for me, they are amazed when I bring in projects and they find their fabrics in it. But lets face it, it is time consuming and not for everyone. I LOVE scrappy and small, but not miniature.
