Hi everyone - just my two cents: in the scriptures, 25th chapter of Matthew, Christ tells us that whatever we do to one of these brothers of mine, "even the least of them, you did it to Me." I'm just thinking that anything we give from our hearts, even charity quilts, should be given our best effort, even if we use scraps to make them. True, they may be used to cover a homeless person - who might be homeless due to addictions problems - taking shelter under a bridge somewhere. But that quilt may be the only piece of evidence that person has, that they have any value left as a human being. You never know when that one tiny scrap of fabric might be the reminder they need to not give up hope, not give up belief in something greater than their seemingly hopeless existence. I say there's nothing wrong with being frugal and thrifty and utilizing any and everything fit to use, but not lose sight of why you're doing it in the first place.
