any scraps under an 1 1/2 wide/square I throw out. everything else has gone in a box which I just started cutting up for a jacob's ladder. orphan blocks I keep as I want to put them all in a quilt one day. Not sure how, but I do

I have a friend who belongs to a group that makes tons of stuff for charity. They find a use for everything - so they get it all. I can't stand clutter and detest things hanging around that could be put to use elsewhere.

I am trying to down size my stash because we might build a new house and i will not have the storage I have now. I started going thru stash and first of all if I could rip the fabric parallel to the selvage without much effort I am throwing them away because I figure it is starting to dry rot. It is hard to get rid of stuff but I have what my DH calls my own fabric shop.

About now I feel like the guy who tries to finish the internet...it just isn't going to happen! :lol: So...do you throw this stuff away, do you keep it until you use, do you close the door & don't worry about using it?
