I'm sure they'd be glad to get them. We have an Interfaith Quilters group in my town. They have a big sale once a year. Proceeds benefit two local organizations. I'm sure someone will want them. JCY
JCY - I bought those papers from M* too... intending to use these scraps and make blocks and such. I did make sew some strip pieces on them and then cut to make a diagonal pattern and made some pillows...but...all the fabric matched! Scrappy quilts are just to busy for me and look to cluttered...my opinion ONLY. I have seen a few that I thought were nice, but I guess that is as far as it is going to go with me!
