[/quote]I cut mine into the largest square. Most of mine are 5" or smaller. I can always cut them smaller if I need them for a specific project. The smallest squares I ahve a 1" but I find I don't use them very much. I have more 2 to 3-1/2 inch squares thatn any other size even after making a queen size quilt with all the scraps.
I store mine in baggies by size and in darks and lights (if there enough to warrant separating them.) The baggies are in a plastic bin labelled SCRAPS. It took a long time to get them cut. I started out just putting them, uncut, into a plastic bin. Now I cut them during or right after I finish a project.
I also have a bin of strips left from making bindings.
It sure is fun hearing how everyone organizes their stash.[/quote]
I thought maybe if I cut scraps for just 30 minutes an evening eventually I'll get to the bottom of the pile. I have begun cutting the scraps from current projects as I work on them, but still have a lot of scraps from previous projects just sitting there. Time will help, I hope.
I agree, it is interesting to read other people's stash organizing methods.
