OK you guys are going to think i'm REALLY cheep, but i got an idea from my sis-in=law AKA best friend. We use old clothes for scrap quilts :-) right now i'm making my gr-girls butterfly wall hangings from a Quilters World pattern i found on line. the black backgrounds are old dress pants and the butterflys are dress shirts. I also heard about a Hospice group that i thought was neat. The volunteers make Teddy Bears out of a favorite shirt or piece of clothing from the loved one who has passed away. Neat huh?

I have baskets and boxes--some sorted some not--of just scraps. I use scraps when I have to do just a block or two for some sort of project with a group. I have a strippy basket that I hope to make a string/strippy quilt from some day. I love shopping in my stash!
