How do you organize your fabric scraps?
Recently I checked a book out from the library written by Joan Ford titled, Cut the Scraps! She suggests cutting scraps into 2", 3.5" & 5" squares. For those of you that quilt much more than I do, do you think these are very useful sizes? What are the most popular sizes used in quilts? If there is one.
I am trying to put some order to my scrap bin. Right now all the scraps are stuffed (and I do mean stuffed) into a plastic file folder bin. They are a wrinkled mess and need to sorted by color. These scraps are all less than fat quarter size and maybe most are smaller than an eighth. Those pieces larger than this are kept in bins with yardage sorted by color.
Suggestions appreciated. Throwing them out is not an option! LOL
