People do things differently. I like to keep my big pieces together, and cut all of the small pieces into bins using Bonnie Hunter's method for a guide. It is working for me. I usually cut off a small piece of my fabric when cutting out a project, depending of what I am doing, but I do find some like that, but later on they do get trimmed and later into proper bins. I am almost caught up with my scrap control on cotton. But still out of control on my flannel, but I am getting it organized slowly. When I get this done, my second goal will be to finish up all of my UFO's, so I can move on to other projects without all that clutter going on. Wish me luck!! HA HA HA
