so copy and add, make a diff color of yours if you can, and lets get this list long! maybe sticky!?
reduce..reuse and recycle!!
Recieving blankets (which i have tonssssss of, i am sure you do to!)- they make great rags for washing vehicles!! -OR- cleaning the house, since they are 100% cotton, they are great for window cleaning!!
Burp Rags- i made tonssss of them, and the ones that i never got to- they are great for house cleaning and car cleaning too! general all purpose rags really!
Clothes- i want to teach myself how to make a rag blanket, just sew parts and pieces together.. (can anyone help me out?)

I used a bunch of our receiving blankets to make cloth diaper wipes & cloth diaper inserts. For the wipes, I cut them into 6x6 squares & surged the edges. For cloth diaper inserts, I cut them in 8x9 squares, trifolded them length wise & sewed them around all four edges. Saved me money & their cute from the different patterns,
