scraps------by size or color?

I did both. I cut 3 1/2", 4", 5" some 6" squares and 2" strips. The cut squares are stacked in color sequence. I've just stored the strips on their sides, no real color organization.

Then I have a drawer stuffed with odds and ends from when I did all that cutting. I was messing around with it last night, making a crumb block. Not rocket science, but I'm having a time trying to make a block out of so many smaller pieces. It's my first attempt so just experimenting right now.

An idea I thought of was to try a crumb by color and put multiple colors in a top like a color graduation type concept?? But then I'd have to "colorize" that drawer. Thinking of the time it would take and came up undecided.

Surfed around on the 'Net looking at pics that others posted of their stashes. Let me say, it's as bad as being in a fabric store-----OK, not THAT bad. I can't buy anything in someone else's picture! LOL
