I only throw away scraps that are too small to use. If I have a fabric I think I will never use because I don't find it attractive, I give it to the Senior Citizens Store, along with anything else they can sell or use. I hate to throw something away when it can be of use to someone.

I like to use up all my scraps, i really LOVE the downright UGLIES... when cut up small they add charm to my quilts..

I kept only what I love and I'm a lot happier. I don't miss one thing I gave away!

OMG!!! i'm not a hoarder---but i definitly do not THROW AWAY- when it comes to fabrics, orphan blocks ect...i pass them on to some one who will do something with them- and appreciates the opportunity!
i'm afraid to even read posts on this one---i think i would have a heart attack to read of any of you throwing away instead of sharing

I thought you were asking about things around the house, other than quilting fabric. At that I am REALLY GOOD!! I hate clutter of any kind but am not OCD, LOL. As far as fabric is concerned, the only thing I do not keep is crumbs. Sewing them together would make me crazy.

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?
That said, I recently gave away a whole large log cabin quilt top I really disliked - that was easy! LOL!!!
....and I do toss quite a lot during the sorting... or give bigger pieces away. I don't keep any scrap under a 2 1/2" square.
Sorting, instead of sewing are my "awake-in-the-wee-hours of-the-night" projects ! (No damage to me or ongoing projects done!)
