I too use the Ziploc style bags. I also use a reusable lunch/ bag to put my "rough" scraps in as I cut and sew. About once a month, I empty the lunch bag and cut my scraps into 5", 4" and 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" blocks. These get seperated into their appropriate Ziploc bag and stashed in a drawer of my 3 drawer rolling cart. I don't have any plans for using them yet, but I can't stand the thought of throwing fabric away. I'll probably Pay It Forward with them eventually. LOL. At least that way someone could use them.
