You all are probably right. Maybe *Always* is a word I should strike. I will just say in my own case (because I let my scraps get out of hand), I need to do something immediately with small scraps as I make them.
Since my favorite quilts are scrappy ones, I tended to hold on to everything, but my use of them was far less than their ability to multiply.
After some time in my sewing room, I am starting to see results that I love. Containers that I have labeled with appropriate size scraps, needles, bias tapes, assorted tools, ect.
What I thought would really hurt me in giving away so much, has actually freed me. I feel lighter and happier!
So, yes....we need to do what is right for us, but just be open to another method if the one you have isn't working
