I love this idea, quiltingcandy! Those "parties" sound like so much fun.
Like most of the rest of you, I use excess fabric to make charity quilts and backs. There are always needs for quilts in the community. Right now, Kentucky has experienced horrendous flooding. Many people have lost all they had. Our guild is collecting quilts to take to people in Kentucky. Other than that, I make quilts for children's homes and hospitals year round, and the organ transplant unit at a hospital in nearby city. I also pass on fabrics that I've fallen out of love with, to my guild and quilting friends.
