    Default Another use for all that fabric
    For the last few years I've been wrapping all our presents with fabric. And I use those salvage cutoffs (that didn't go into the garden) to tie! There are no kiddies, so everyone unwraps with restraint!!!!!
    This year I chose GREENS
    Merry Christmas!

    Great idea!
    We had a gift exchange in my quilt club and one of the gifts was wrapped in a fat quarter.
    Everyone wanted that gift cuz they got a free fat quarter! LOL

    Pretty packages! A few years ago I waited until the after Christmas sales and sewed up tons of Christmas gift bags.

    Oh! I saved narrow stripes from cutting a red and white Christmas quilt for just the purpose of ribbons and forgot to use them!

    It's great as long as no one tosses the fabric in the trash because they have no use for beautiful fabric.......

    I made fabric gift bags one year so we could reuse them. My grand daughters collected all of them and put their toys in them.

    How terrible would it be to use fabric that is not all cotton?
