Me too. I know I probably won't live long enough to make all the ones I want but I'm going to give it my best shot!

I can't seem to discard batting scraps. I can think of all sorts of things to use them for, but when will I have the time to make bookmarks, quilt as you go blocks, purse and bag straps, etc. Woe is me.

make some easter eggs?

Lucky lucky you!
Think quilts, Wall hangings, row quilts bed quilts, crazy quilts, applique, nine patches - dissappering too.
Turning twenty, any pattern using fat quarter sizes
multiple ohio stars, especially.
Pillows....A silk quilt or table topper is so elegant for gifts!

I USE UP CORDUROY TO MAKE LITTLE GIRLS' JUMPERS FOR HUMANITARIAN GIVING.
THEY MAKE GOOD QUILTS, BUT TAKE A LONG TIME TO DRY.
