I just finished a 2 month project of cutting up my scraps and cleaning out my fabric. First figure out what sizes you want and the smallest you will use. I decided the smallest for me was 2.5 inches. Anything else can be thrown out. Yes I said Toss it. Unless of course you are or your know someone who is going to make a crumb quilt I think they are called .. Not me. I did
Fat quarter
10 inch
5 inch
3.5
3 inch
2.5
Some I did leave in strips 2.5 wide There were a few strips that I thought I may use for borders so left them wider at 4 and 6 inch.
Not many though.
I figure with the larger pieces I can always cut them down if need be
I now have everything in small baskets.
I am much happier. LOL
