I cut mine into 4 inch sqs, 2 inch sqs, strips to use as binding, and 2 1/2 inch strips - whatever I can get out of the scraps. It seems I hardly ever have enough to get the charm size out of the scraps. However, recently I cut a lot of scraps into 6 1/2 inch sqs. and made a disappearing 4 patch - queen size. I probably would not have made it if I did not have a pile of the squares that I had cut and put away purposely for that design. I don't have a lot of room to store scraps, so I want to get them ready to use at any given time...and I hate clutter with a passion. I think I have enough now of the 4 inch squares for 4 large quilt tops.
