That's what I do also. I try to cut squares or strips right away once the project is finished, to stay up on the scraps. I still have a large bin full of uncut scraps, but they're handy in my room so I grab out of it too when doing a scrap project. Then if I don't use all of that scrap, I cut it then and add to the individual scrap bins. I have 1 1/2 strips, and squares & strips in 2" all the way to 6 1/2". Will post a pic of how mine are stored once cut. It's so much fun to play with scraps! The bins on the shelf above counter and a second one, not shown, are all cut up...they are totally full! The bin, next to the table, that is open with the plastic bags are the uncut scraps. Very accessable, not much hunting. I've tried to organize them into catagories, ie: sports, baby, cats/dogs, etc. Hopefully, someday that bin will be empty and all cut too.
