Oh Betty - I feel your pain! I too am trying to get organized and am using the Scrap User's System. I used to store all leftovers from finished quilts in plastic totes, by color. So far, 295 yards have been put on bolts. I'm bolting anything one yard and over. If one yard piece, three of them share a bolt. Smaller yardage gets cut into decreasing sizes, a FQ if I can, then 2.5 strips, 1.5 strips, then squares of varying sizes. My first plan was to put each size of scrap into a baggie then back into a tote by color. Now I've decided to store by size. So one tote will have all the 2.5 strips, each color in its own baggie, etc. etc. How am I doing? Well, it's been a couple of weeks, the 295 yards are on bolts and I've gotten thru 5 colors. I'm getting there but the result is bad news for my LQS. I'm on a fabric diet - gotta use up some of this stash!!! I'll sign the pledge with you.
