I have been sorting my scraps baskets for awhile now ... I find that cutting them into usable squares (6,5,4.5,4,3.5,3,2.5 and 2) and strips/strings (2.5,2,1.5 and 1) while I am sorting and pressing it makes it easier to have enough fabrics for my scrappy quilts. I use the three drawer bins by Sterlite and sort each drawer by square size and string/strip size. It is a work in progress but I love scrappy quilts and use even the littlest of pieces for my crumb blocks.
Bonnie's site is amazing if you haven't been there check it out. She is full of great ideas. I am going to have to check out the other link someone posted.
thanks for the thread .. it is a great way to encourage others doing the same thing you are.
