This is one thing that I love about this group! Y'all never fail to inspire me. I am having surgery in the morning so I think I have found what I will be doing during my recovery!!!!

How neat. I was just thinking that I need to get my scraps organized and you have inspired me. I hate to waste anything. Fabric is expensive. Thanks for your inspiration.

my mom loved to quilt

I'm organizing my mom's fabrics now- I'm not a quilter. what do you do with the cut squares? Make quilts with random fabrics? sorry to be so dumb, but she had over 500 of these packets pre cut matching fabrics. Is there some place in the Chandler az area I could donate her fabric leftovers to?

Check with a church in your area -- many have sewing circles and make quilts. Also most quilt guilds would be thrilled to have fabric donations as they make many charity quilts. Wish I lived closer -- I would love to take them!

I need to do this. My boxes are way out of hand.

I have a big plastic tub sitting under my cutting desk and I put everything in there as I do each quilt...when it begins to fill up, I know its time ....I press everything and I cut the largest square I can from each piece....then I store the pieces in seperate plastic boxes (from Sams with cookies in them originally) and I have 2 1/2 inches up to 7 inches....when this plastic cookie box gets full, its time to do a scrappy quilt using all that size blocks......I feel like these scrappys are FREE quilts, as it didnt cost anytihng for those squares.....Ialso have a couple of the plastic boxes that I put strips in.....2 1/2 and 3 and 3 1/2 width strips and again, when a box gets full its time to make a quilt with it.....

I have recently started "taming" my scraps the Bonnie Hunter way. Mostly I have cut strips into different widths and some sorting light and dark. Not sure what I am going to do with them yet, just trying to find a new/better organization method. Nothing has worked very well so far.
Good luck to you.
