I do like to sort the sizes of my scraps and that is all. I have done a few Path thru the woods patterns and love to make this pattern so I do like to collect the size I need for the larger part of the block and opposite triangles.
Other than that i like to keep 7, 8 and 9" strips and squares in seperate boxes and from 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2" strips in seperate boxes. I don't do the half inch thing. I figure if I need 3 1/2" strip I go to the 4" stack.
If something is an inbetween size I will put it in the smaller size stack ( if a strip is 4 1/2" I put it in the 4" stack)
I don't cut scraps into sizes to store. I cut as I go.
I try to keep it simple. KISS !
EDIT: Now let me answer the actual ? I don't do a lot of planning except for choosing one fabric that gives the whole quilt consistancy like a back ground or sashing or a center block like in a log cabin. And sometimes I don't even do that much planning.
Have fun!
peace
