Call me crazy..or something...but I saved my scraps and leftover fabric for all my projects since 1999. Yes, I'm a bit of a pack rat anyway but that's another story. Occasionally I used a bit of leftover scrap in something new I was making but mostly the scraps grew and grew. I bought new for any new project. Well now...fabric is much, much pricier that was 12 years ago so guess what? I have quite a lot of very good fabric to use..and I paid a lot less for it. I haven't cut it all because I can use "string" sized pieces or larger chunks. When I cut scraps my favorite sizes are 2 1/2" strips, 5" squares 2 1/2" bars, etc. I have been using the precut scraps in a couple of Bonnie Hunter free patterns. I completed Pineapple Blossom (Quiltville Blog) and I'm working on Bonnie's "My Blue Heaven.". I love them. And you know what? I haven't even put a dent in my 12 year supply of scraps.
