Swim, Bike, Quilt
I've been trying to reduce my pile of scraps. When I finish a quilt, especially a kid's quilt, I take the scraps from it and put it all in one zip-lock bag. That way when it's time for next year's 100 Quilts For Kids I'll be ready. All of the fabric for this came from one quilt I made last year.
I have enough scraps for a third quilt with these scraps, but it will be a lot more background on the next.
Both of these quilts are going to Margaret's Hope Chest http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/. And speaking of Margaret's Hope Chest there was recently a post on how to help, one of the ways was sending some orphan blocks or unquilted tops. I have some lonely blocks that have been making me feel guilty for some time. I just might send them off too and get them off my conscience.

Great idea to send those little guilt trippers off. Lovely job you made of those charity quilts. I have bags of sets like that. I also have a bag of left over binding bits. It's useful when making small items.

great quilts. I have done that before, send a top or blocks to a charity. It feels good knowing that someone can use them.
