I'd be more than happy to pay postage for your waste pieces of good quilting fabrics and wool fabric scraps.
OH,to toss what a waste..with being the prices we have to pay for fabrics. I use a lot of smaller pieces of left over fabrics for applique work, paper pieceing, tooth-brush rugs, pin cushions I am looking for wools right now and not having much luck finding. I'm not willing to pay $9 and up for a few inches of wool fabric, when you are only going to cut a couple leaves etc from it,be sides if I happen to find any it is maybe a handful of colors to choose from.
Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.com has several patterns you can use these pieces in.Free downloads. Maverick Stars quilt I have made of hers and it used up lots of bits. Little 4 and 9 -patch blocks work great as fillers and corner blocks, be cute in pot holders I would thing, too. I've made QOV blocks (r/w/b fabrics) and a quilt for a organization raffle (applique w/9-patchs) both had bits of waste fabrics used in them...
