I tend to use smaller pieces for some for my charity quilt. Luckily I have a quild that I belong to that does a scrap exchange once a year. Anyone can donate. Some of us just donate and we have everything from 4inch squares to binding strips. It is quite dangerous. I ended up with 4 panel for babies and enough scraps to make 3 other tops. After everyone was done selecting there was enough for one of the member to take a trash bag full of the leftovers. She loves using any and all scraps. I would love to see how she organizes them at home. So join a quild and start a new tradition- it is addicting.
