I keep most everything. I love Bonnie Hunters website although I haven't done one of her quilts yet. I've been cutting strips in 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2 and 3 inch widths. I had cut some squares but decided the strips were better and can always be cut into squares later. I also paper piece so no scrap is too little for some of that.I have 2 garbage bags of small pieces I'm trying to iron and cut.
