I have a friend that os so orgabnized. Whe is is cutting and has any left over she cuts the pieces into nice useful sizes, 2 1/2 inch strips, 6 1/2 and 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 in squars and keeps them organized in a small dresser. Then when she wants to do mindless sewing she pulls them out and starts a scrappy quilt. My goal someday would to that organized but, I don't see it happening.
