I just spent the last two days "organizing" my two large rubbermaid tubs! I could not get the lids to shut and the scraps were piling so high that they could barely fit on the shelf!! So, I organized by using plastic gallon food storage bags to store colors. I threw away all tiny triangles and other very small pieces (why did I keep them in the first place??). I love log cabins so I kept all sizes of strips 1" or larger. It looks much better now and the lids ALMOST close, but I can slide the bin onto the shelf now. I've been quilting for about 12 years and I think I've kept scraps from the beginning from the looks of some of the "ugly" fabric scraps I threw away! ;-)
