Go to pinterest and type in quilts using 2.5 inch squares. You'll get gobs of ideas. I even have a couple for my bucket list. Sigh

If you are not going to use them, many quilters do quilt for charities and would appreciate them. I pass my on when I clean and clear the house of my 'good intentions' that fail to get on my bucket list. I don't sew 24/7, but love to when ever I can in retirement. My designing mind works faster than my fingers and mind, and I get good ideas, but fail to carry through with all my ideas 'cause I have too many ideas! Guess I just need help to sew it all up, but none of our children live in the area. So I box it up and find homes for it, so that it is used for good causes.

I take all my scraps to goodwill and they are able to either pass them on or sell them to be shredded for insulation, etc. it's amazing how full a bag can get Qin a short time!!

I make pillow case type cover from "what was I thinking fabric" (and fabrics donated to me, especially the old polyester that was so popular 30 years ago) fill them with scraps too small for projects, sew it shut & donate to animal shelter for pet beds, I make them all sizes, for cats, small dogs, large dogs. When they get too dirty the shelter can toss them but at least those scraps did some good while they could.

Is there a quilt guild near you? They make charity quilts and will use any quilting fabric.

I do the same, Maire, but I always say--don't give them to puppies. Would be a terrible mess if they were ripped up!
