I use the multi drawer Sterilite containers sold at Walmart. There are 3 deep drawers & 4 shallower drawers. These drawers hold the triangles, 1.5,2.0, 2.5 & 3.5 strips that I've cut. Mine is pretty full, too. The charms & layer cakes are on a separate shelf in my bookcase...the charms number in the thousands, literally. Forty years of quilting yields a whole lot of scraps - and I'm STILL cutting up my scraps. I've made lots of scrap quilts from these piles & you'd never know I took any fabric from the stacks. I've got two more scrap quilts to make in the near future (queen & king) that are coming from those piles of fabrics. But I love that when I want to make a quilt I don't have to cut up fabric to do it. Plus, cutting up those scraps is a good task when I want to watch a movie and just relax. It's very fulfilling to see stacks of precuts made up at the end of the movie.....
