    Thank you for sharing this link. I will be marking my calendar, and trying this, but it may be a bit confusing.

    Does this make sense to you? Here is what I have done so far:

    anything half a yard or larger goes on my organized shelves.
    Charm squares are in another set of shelves by color, in different baskets.
    It is the strips and the chunks and packs I have troubke with, so I will just keep going.

    Good stuff!! Right now I just sort my scraps by color, though I have considered doing it by size. I like to use my scraps for applique though, so by color makes more sense for that.

    Cheers!

My daughter laughs at me! I also have my buttons sorted by size and color and stored in bead boxes.
    Whatever you call it I wish I had it!!! My room looks like a tornado went through. hee hee
