I made a bag for my GPS, a bag for my Kindle, a cover for my sewing machine, and some little doggie coats which turned out adorable (reversible to). Those bags are such fun. We have a craft shop not to far from here and I can take a grocery bag and fill it up for $5.00. I manage to do that at least once a month. We certainly do our fair share of recycling, eh? Edie

Ditto, all the ladies on this board are so helpful and have such great ideas.

With all the creative juices on this board, I know you will get several ideas. Good find.

Pre-quilted fabric makes lovely strong bags and totes, stuff sacks for camping and holding sleeping bags, wine bags, cosmetic bags and any other bag you can think of. It also makes a quick quilt- just bind it and use it in the car, let the kids drag it to camp or on a sleep out and you won't even mind if the dog sleeps on it too.

How about a casserole carrier ? Pot holders ?

I have used it to line hot pads. It works great for that..

I inherited a bunch of these as scraps. Used them for the insides of the blocks for rag quilts. No matching and didn't need big pieces. Could butt some of the pieces together and zigzag to utilize even the smallest of the scraps.

I am simply in awe of you ladies and your wonderful suggestions. When I first read Lea's post, I thought: "Yea, just throw that stuff away." But after reading all these ideas....Lea, you have a treasure trove there!
