I try to cut all my small scraps into squares starting at 1.5" up to 8.5" Also strips in those widths. I also try to fussy cut fabrics that call for that type of cutting using the pieces in between to make small squares. I put them up according to color schemes. My biggest problem is that all too often I forget those boxes and head to the quilt store and buy more fabric rather then trying to use what I already have. I love fabric so any excuse to buy more is good. LOL.
