I just put my scraps by colour in 6 plastic roller drawers that I bought at Canadian Tire. I never know what my next project will be. Yesterday I went through my scraps and cut 178 - 51/2 inch squares. I need 400 squares but it's a start. Point is I didn't know until last month that I wanted to make this quilt. If I'd precut it all I wouldn't have the variety .
