I just read you should make 4 piles. dark, light, and medium light and medium dark. I have my scraps by catagory. Baby girl, baby boy, western, flowers, 4th of july, vegtables, woodisy , southwest, xmas, fall, haloween. I think it will work for me. I also have to get into what is not scraps to help put it all together. Hope this helps a little. It is difficult with Scraps.
