    My quilter friend rolls all of her unused strips. I have a few rolls that I inherited but have never bothered to roll my own. I have always stored them flat. What is your preference? It does save space. But I don't think I'll change at this stage. I'd be rolling for many many days. (she thinks I should).

    Personal choice I think. I do not roll (smile).

    I have project/craft bins that I keep mine in. I fold them in half 2x, then store flat by color.

    I have never rolled.. too much effort. I just fold and toss in the bin.

    Yeah! that's me! I have a large tote bag and all the scraps land in there. No rhyme or reason - just a big jumble-O-scraps.

    My mom used to roll all her scraps, but I find that I like to have them flat.
