I have a sort of a system for scraps:
I have a "crumb bag" hanging within easy reach of my cutting mat, and anything larger than an inch goes into that. One of the ladies at our guild has promised to teach "Mile-a-Minute" this year, so that's what I'm saving my "crumbs" for.
I have a box that all my scrap strips go in. In the new year
I'm going to use them to make a log cabin wall hanging for our guild's annual challenge.
All my batik scraps go in another box, and I use them for an EPP project I'm working on. I've also started cutting 2" squares from my batik scraps because I'm planning to do a Cathedral Windows quilt once I've finished my EPP project.
Anything the size of a fat-eighth or bigger gets folded back up and put in with my fat quarters. Our guild does BOMs, and I often use small peices for those.
All other scraps go in yet another box. One day I'll use them for a scrappy quilt of some kind or another!
