Scrap Users System by Bonnie Hunter; her website quiltville.com and Scraptherapy, Cut the Scraps (book) by Joan Ford have been my scrap salvation. I have combined their valuable methods and my "scrap world" has been tamed and is now user friendly. They both advised to "Do Something with Your Scraps so You will Use them." Otherwise scraps will just multiply and take up room for someday. I promise you once you delve into scraps and CUT them for future use you will use them. There are still scraps from the cutting that I use for scrap blocks, my term for just sewing random pieces together and cutting to whatever size block or pattern I want to use. Salvages and pieces smaller than 1/2 inch are used for stuffing.
