I turn those into quilts for American Hero Quilts. =) I think my previous comment went astray due to a timeout, so just let me say this is a gorgeous quilt you are working on.

Some of the quilts are very dated, but there are some variations on classic designs that stand the test of time.<br /><br />Did you see my first EPP post, with the videos?

Especially in a design like this one with many different shapes.<br /><br />As for the clean out, I still kept much more than I tossed!

Also took a look at Paper Pieces. My one and only effort at paper piecing took about 30 years - but I was tempted to send off for some packs of pieces!
