depending on the size and shape, tells me what to do with them.....I make a lot of Charity String Quilts so have one large box of nothing but precut strips. If the scrap is square-ish....I cut into strips, 1-/2", 2, 2-1/2"......If the scrap is fat-quarter size goes into my color sorted drawers, if on the smaller odd shape size goes into color sorted bags for applique work.....Have also started cutting 5" squares for twisted pinwheels......
