I have started cutting all my smaller leftovers into 5" squares and 2 1/2" strips because they work into so many patterns that have developed using precuts. Any smaller pieces than that are cut into 2" squares because a long time ago I started collecting those and have a quilt planned to use LOTS of them. (I think 2 1/2" squares would have been a better plan, but I need to use these first.) The rest go in a basket for crumb quilts. It's a very neat way to store fabric scraps and they are already precut to add to any precuts I purchase for projects. No digging through bins of stuff. You may find you can buy a couple of charm packs and jelly rolls and then add to them from your own scraps.
