I am a scrappy girl and I have thrown my lot in with Bonnie Hunter. She tells you how to cut your scraps to their most useful size. I have huge bins of 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2" strips. I buy many 1 yd cuts, I cut these 3 sizes and then leave the rest for other sizes or blocks I might need. It has helped me in so many ways. I always have a head start on my quilts. I love making hst, so I do a lot of them in different sizes to have on hand. I recently finished a Ocean Waves scrappy made with 4,000+ 2" hst and I have enough to do another I think. Also just finished a split nine patch quilt and I have lots of 2 1/2" hst.
