Thanks for any help with this big move I am about to make :| :|
Like many people here, I cut my leftovers into strips, squares and strings. I also have my scraps organized by size and light vs. dark. I love the scrappy look and have decided that I will not buy new fabric this year. I will work from my stash. Anything less than 1/4 yard is headed for the scrap bins. Larger pieces will be organized by color for other projects.
