I've committed to a QOV group only to find that my scrap bin of red/white/blue and patriotic fabrics has already been well used, so I've had some intake of friends' stashes.
Some one mentioned saving all scraps in the beginning of her quilting life and now starting to stress about the bins of strips/strings/tiny pieces she now has on hand. I just wanted to say: I'm right there with you! I did a bold move earlier last year, took a deep breath, and emptied one bin into trash and haven't missed it in the least.
