I do like DebbE does. I start out with 10" & go all the way down to 1" squares plus 1/2 square triangles. I also do strips plus save the 1/2" strips to wrap around cloths line rope for bowels, baskets & place mats.I do them in the evenings & haven't even made a dent in my scraps yet even though I have several containers full. I have several people that save all their scraps for me, so I have an endless supply. I do get them worked up as I use them for starters & enders. Puts good us to the thread that would normally be cut off & tossed. I always say "waste not want not". My son said I am a horder fo fabric & scraps. But it all makes me happy so fewy on him.
