Maybe I made that too specific to quilt-making...just any small piece of fabric... Sorry!

Ok, no one has said it, but #5 is called a "pitch-in" in Indiana...at least in the southern part!

I'm shocked that no one else calls it the parking strip. That's all I've ever heard it called.

Thanks, Schoolmarm, that's definitely one of the "other" names for it.

Yankee, could you not come up with anything a bit more catchy on #3? LOL!

Mak, are you serious? You call them "scraps" for real?

Here's a variation on the theme......how do you give directions? If I was several blocks away from your house, how would you tell me to get there?

Depends on how well you know the city. In Vancouver, everything is East/West/North/South, so I'd tell you to drive North on XYZ Street until you reached ABC, turn right and head east until... If you're unfamilliar with the city, I'd throw in the distance (go four blocks until ABC Street...) and replace the N/S/E/W with right turn, left turn, etc.
