But the best thing I do is:
I have drawers of precut strips by color. If I feel like sewing all I need to do is go grab some strips.
the sizes I keep are
1 1/2"
2"
2 1/2"
3 1/2"
4 1/2"
If I do not have enough to keep a size by color I do separate by light and dark.
I keep my strips in a system called
"A Scrap USER System" brought to me by Bonnie Hunter of www.quiltville.com
It saves so much time. After I finish a project all the scraps get cut into these usable sizes.
Warning! You may need to by stock in Rubbermaid.

I do this also! I also cut smaller scraps into what Bonnie Hunter calls squares and bricks. Check out her website and her Scrap User System. It is in a pdf file you can download. I highly recommend it! The small squares can be used as leaders and enders.
