I think when you try to use up your scraps they just expand when exposed to light as you dig through the containers.
I believe you are right when you said they expand to light ,I had A bunch of strips stuff in A LITTLE cardboard box and dumped them in plastic tub so I could get to them better for the string quilt and it filled the plastic tub. Got almost 2 quilt tops done and u can't see where i used any of them. I don't throw much away what don't go in to quilts go in to flannel bags for animal beds.
