You're not crazy. Know exactly how you feel. Someone recently GAVE me 5 huge bags of scraps (not all were quilt material). I felt actually giddy with excitement as I went through the bags. I'm certain my son thought I had lost it. I've already started making crazy quilts. Smaller pieces were perfect. Have 2 lap quilts finished and more to come. They will all go to nursing homes.

Quilt scraps are who we are! I go to a Wed afternooon quilt class at my LQS and there is always someone there who wants left overs. It is a great way to share and we don't go home with scraps we don't intend to use! Better than waste baskets!!

Aren't surprises wonderful? If we waited for time, we would never have fun accomplishing gifts of the heart. Pay forward is a wonderful philosophy I try to include in my life. You'll make it! Good luck reaping rewards from this project.

Just more proof that we quilters are all a breed of our own. Who else could get excited over receiving a bag of fabric scraps but a quilter?
Maybe you could ask them to save the bags of scraps for you if you could by weekly or so to pick them up.
It's a shame they throw them away!

You are so right, quilters are a "breed of their own". I was recently gifted with two wonderful quilting angels who are giving me material so I can continue to quilt, etc. I am so blessed to have found this site and all these wonderful angels. Good thoughts and thank you.
