I have mine cut and stored in plastic shoebox size containers. 2X 6 strips, 5 x 5, 2 x 2 and 3 1/2 x 3/12 sqsuares. As I finish a quilt I cut the scraps. It took me 3 days to get all of my scraps cut initially. I am trying very hard to stay current. Now just to get enough scappy squares to make another quilt.
