@MaryKa Hooray for finding a home for the felt and making new contacts! We had quite a thing going for awhile between my husband (who handled scrap at his place) for getting her fancy ends of printing rolls (like gold foil, cellophane, non-papery stuff), not enough for a printing project but enough for an art class.
For my normal work (including my donations) I prefer a puffier poly batt and less quilting than is currently popular. For me, the Pellon doesn't give the loft I want -- but it is pretty easy to work with. Different organizations have different needs and requirements for their donation projects in addition to sizes. Some want all cotton everything, batting, thread, fabric, etc. so I learn to work with what the client wants. Or I find options (I usually target my projects to aging foster kids/restarting households) that let me do what I want -- I prefer it when the recipients get to choose their quilt, you could be really happy with one of mine or really disappointed
@WMUTeach good for you for doing some thinking and sorting and prioritizing. We don't have to finish the UFOs, many of what I do is finish other people UFOs. I don't mind taking something apart or cutting it up when I didn't do the work in the first place. I tried to do something like your quilting group at my old guild, rarely got any takers and even fewer finished projects but the "ugly fabric" mystery bags. Fabric had to be quality/usable but one of those "what was I thinking" sort of things. I have a couple of things kitted up that I might be putting in my ready to go box... not quite ready with that yet but I did a lot of purging pre-move.
