I cut mine into strips. others I cut into squares. I start with the biggest possible block I can cut. then put them in large clear plastic bags and label as to size. My largest block is 8 inches and the smallest is 1 1/2 . I then use then for scrappy quilts. You can always sub-cut the larger blocks into smaller blocks if needed. I had 3 totes full of scraps last spring and now I barely have a small basket, but I do have 8 quilts that I made from my scraps.
