When i reorganized my stash to get them out of the bins, the yardage was easy- fold on boards and put in the bookshelf--- until i ran out of room. Same with the 'smaller than 1 yd. pieces' it took me a lot longer to cut up the scraps into - strips of various widths, Fq, squares, strings and crumbs. I had to force myself to do it and found towards the end that i would just cut the scraps into strings! I now have a very large clear tub full of strings! I dont have enough room on my shelves, so there are stacks in front of them. My Dh promised me a trip to IKEA for the cube shelves sometime in the future. Yeah!!
