I save pretty much everything, just not sure when I will ever get the time to use them. Though I am willing to let people come and root through what is here. O f course, only if I get to see what they make out of it.

I save all my scraps! I make string quilt blocks out of the larger pieces. Recently I started sewing odds and ends together to make pieces of fabric. I then cut that fabric into strips and made a Camping Quilt. I used a recycled heavy flannel blanket for the backing. I didn't use any batting. I sewed the first strip down on the edge. Then sewed the second strip right side together with the first. I flipped it over and sewed on the next strip. When I was finished sewing on strips I added a binding around the quilt and it was finished. We went camping last weekend up in the high country and the quilt was sure nice to cuddle under.
