I try to cut my scraps into the biggest size strip or square they can make. They store better than a box full of jumbled scraps that have to be ironed to straighten them back out, and they are ready to go when I want to play with them.
I love cutting my scraps and organizing the strips and squares. It's therapeutic for me....
I wouldn't mix flannels with cottons in a quilt. Save the flannels for their own quilt or backing. Homespuns occasionally make their way into a quilt with regular cottons, but I prefer grouping them with my recycled shirts fabric.
