I had been quilting for several years before I made the decision to organize my stash. It took me quite awhile, but it was so worth it! I wish it was something I would have started doing at the beginning. I cut all my scraps into squares from 1 1/2 up to 6 inches. I love it. Just this past week, I began an applique project and it was fantastic to just pick already cut blocks to use for the individual pieces. Another advantage to using this system, you can just sit down and choose a block size and sew 4 patches, 9 patches and so on. Have a great journey with your scraps and creating unbelievable quilt treasures.
