My scraps are in plastic drawers according to color. Right now I'm doing a row robin and I am using a lot of scraps! There is NO WAY I would cut down my scraps to be a certain size!!! I have a sand woman with a tiny bikini that is less than 1.5" each part. If I had cut my scraps.... agggh! I use my scrap drawers (arranged by color) almost with every quilt. I made a quilt of squares recently (mocking microscope photos for a marine biologist) and most of them came from scrap pieces. I also have two drawers of tiny scraps, one irregular bulky shapes, and the other of long stringly shapes. It seems like most quilts NEED a little surprise here or a bit of color there, or a sprinkling of bright colors down the side, or... whatever. I could only make so many quilts of squares before I began to hate them... and to HAVE to make them because I had all those pre-cuts to use... the idea makes me insane.
