I have been sewing for years and all left over fabrics I cut into 3 and 4 and 5 and 6inch squares, depending how big the pieces are. I stack the in soda boxes marked of course , and make patch blankets for new babies in church or lap blankets for the elderly in the hospitals. Aloha ! They love them and they last for years too

I want to see a photo of the ones you KEPT!

One of my all time favorite advances was when someone brought out the rotary cutters and rulers, then machine quilting, made making quilts so much faster. I too cut out each square and marked with pencil. I have two rotary cutters and would quit quilting if you couldn't buy them anymore.

Wow, those squares would make some great charity quilts!

Have fun with them and we'll see some posts when you have completed some projects.
