I tear pattern out of mymagazines and file them in plastic sleeves that I put into 3 or 4" binders. I have dozens of binders and bags full of magazines that I haven't yet cut up. It's daunting! I know I'll never live long enough to use all these patterns, but it's an addiction.

I agree with this one. I don't know what I think I am going to do with all these small pieces of batting. Maybe a quilt as you go pattern.

Sooooo many scraps. I try to organize them, but I think I'm fighting a losing battle. This siize. That size. Oh it's too big to be a scrap. Wait a minute, maybe it's a strip. Yes, I could put this with the other strips, or should I put it with like colors that include scraps and some pieces the birds could use to build nests?
This can make me crazy, so I just collect scraps. Several bags of them.

Corduroy makes great fabric for school bags for missions.
Gift your corduroy to a Lutheran Church.
Better still check out the Lutheran World Relief site for the pattern and make the bags.
Other churches probably do the same, but this is the one I know about.

Scraps are not for collecting, the are for sewing up into wonderful scrappy quilts!!! Get out those bags and make something fun and special soon!!!
