For storing, I don't use the boards on less than 1 yd pieces. Instead, I fold them with my 4" ruler. They stack neatly on the shelf (until I pick thru them!)
I like to use them for the back of quilts. On the back of the log cabin in my avatar pic, I've got them in a brick wall type layout. I think for this quilt I cut into 16x32 rectangle and used the rest for strips & scraps.
