I have tried to use it, so I've pulled pieces out and put them back not-so-neatly. Now it's a mess. I'd love for someone to come buy it all!

I give them away once I fill a bag.

I asked for "scraps" at last ASG group, since I was piecing a quilt that often had small pieces.
The thing is, they were stinky! So I put em in a lingerie bag and washed them on delicate cycle. I think my point is, sometimes you can gain stash, but sometimes it stinks so bad you might not want it! |
Not me, I have lots and lots.

I knew someone like that, she had hers in a shoe box. I kid you not!!! When she was finished she "threw away" the left overs because she didn't think she would have a use for it. Well, we quilt friends changed her mind right away after we sat there and got into an argument about who would receive her left overs. Got her to thinking, maybe there was some value in those leftovers after all. She now has a pretty good stash, but still doesn't buy extra large pieces for future use, like theme fabric or backings. Just shaking my head at this!!! Jan

I had a friend who threw out all her scraps from making clothes. "what can you do with them?" she asked. When I convinced her to give them to me, I made so many things for my children -- I just passed on a few things to my daughter for her daughter -- all made from "scraps." Hard to imagine isn't it!
