As I do alot of applique, I never toss any scrap-unless it is just a sliver from straightening a block, or evening up yardage to make my first rotary cut. I even started saving selveges in s separate box just "in case". I have anything smaller than about 1/2 a FQ sorted by color in clear stacking bins under my sewing table, and 1/2 FQ's up to a yard folded in hanging shoe closet organizers (by color), then over 1 yard pieces folded in hanging sweater closet organizers (by color). Bolts are just stacked on a shelf. When I am working on a project, any cut-off (scraps) I want to keep, I toss into a clear plastic 2-gal jar until I get around to sorting them into their proper stacking boxes. In the meantime, all the mixed colors look pretty in that jar until I empty it!! I am a real scrap-a-holic so anyone looking for a home for their tiny scraps, I'll gladly adopt them!
