Since I don't have a neat bone in my body, scraps would never be organized and my house would look like a fabric store exploded inside it. So perhaps you don't want my advice - which is to put them in a plastic bag and donate them to someone else! It is amazing how the pile of scraps grows - as if a fertility hormone is released when they are cut!

The exception to my 'give them away' strategy is width of fabric strips. Those I save and make coin quilts with because they are quick and easy. I like bright colors, so they make excellent kids quilts. Having said that, I only make them when I feel like sewing but want the project to be so easy I could phone the work in.

I am now going to look up 'coin quilts'.
I'm going to try and not let the scraps get out of hand. Good advice to not to cut until it's going to be used. I have a lot of using to do yet.
