I've donated tiny pieces to our local public school art class - they use them for mosaics, etc. Also my Grandchildren are at that - I like to do projects stage - so I let them pick them out and they have hours of fun. Also use to make pet beds.

Me too. They make 3 inch pinwheels and I use them as my center in scrap quilts.

Yes, I am interested in any fabric or leftovers. I make quilts for people of disasters and vets, fire vics. etc. Will gladly pay postage if you will let me know.

I also wondered what a goose poop quilt was. this is what I found online-

quote-

I took a class with Pat Speth (Nickel Quilts), and she calls those little left over half-square triangle units from making Flying Geese "Goose Poop" -- because it's what's left after the goose is gone.

So a goose poop quilt is made with what is left of when the goose block is done.
