I tend to leave everything 2 yards and up in one piece. I can use the 2 yard pieces for backs on small child's quilt or lap quilts. Longer yardage I save for big projects or borders. I like to cut borders on the more stable lengthwise grain and it can sometimes take quite a bit of fabric. All my leftover yardage I cut into fat quarters or add to my scrap bin. Small pieces I donate to my guild for the people that do miniatures.
