Attack the Stack

After finishing a quilt, instead of adding the leftover fabric to my stash, I cut it into strips and store it in a strip box. When the box is full, it's time to make a quilt. The finished quilt is then donated to a local charity. I also benefit by not having a large stash that clutters my closet.
