I agree with you as well as quiltcandy. I tend to throw anything leftover from the quilt top I'm working on into my scrap boxes. I have them labeled, cut-offs........section we trim off when making our borders. I stitch mine using the miter method...........strips for 1.5 to 2.5, 3.0 to 4.5 and larger pieces 5.0 +. Then I have a tote for the orphan blocks. I also have a box I threw strips in when making the Craftsy Spider Blocks and Diamond Blocks. If the piece is at least 1/2 yd, it goes back onto the comic book board it came from or a new board.
