I got some plastic baskets/bins and I picked out some scrappy quilt patterns, made templates to keep in the baskets and when I have a scrap smaller than a fat quarter I decide which scrappy quilt I want to add it to and I cut it up and add it to that basket. When the basket gets full enough I start piecing the scrap quilt. Print out a small pic of the quilt and tape it to the front of your basket so you don't forget what you're saving the scraps for. I have several different quilts that I need to start piecing now. Anything smaller than that goes in a zip lock bag to be used in string quilts. (looking forward to making my first one of those soon!)
