I separate my scraps into usable sizes and i will trim them down to specific sizes ..Ill cut them with my go and I store them in totes/tubs/bins and when they get full ill make them into something.... It becomes overwhelming for me to start with searching for scraps for a specific pattern.. One day ill sort.. One day Ill cut with the go.. One day ill sew away.. I break them up into days.. IMHO its less aggravating and removes the all at once feeling..
Good luck.
