Great ideas everyone, thanks!
I was thinking too of making baby quilts for donation or lap quilts for nursing home residents. Do you think that would be acceptable?

they will just love what someone made for them-----and NOT worry about whether the fabric is "in fashion"!
Make em and give em away...it is a GREAT feeling!
If you have a veterans center near you---that is another place that can use them...

Any ideas of what I can do with it? Or doesn't it matter?

I have a lot of the type of fabric you have. I have a hard time getting it used up, but I'm going to because I know that whatever I buy to replace it will cost at least double what I have in it.

I'm sure we all have fabrics that may not suit our taste at one time or another. Ones we love today we may look at a few years down the road and think yuck! Then it will seem perfect for a project later.

If it is dark, add lights to it in a scrappy quilt.
If it is ugly, cut it into smaller pieces, use it in a scrappy. Cut small, they don't look ugly in amongst the other fabrics :D:D:D
