I have three groups: yardage, approximate fat quarter, and little bits--each is sorted by color. I like using those bins with plastic drawers. I have different sizes for each group. I use the little bits for paper piecing, and I can just pull out the whole drawer. It keeps all those little bits corraled in one spot, and when I'm finished, I can just pick up the whole pile and put them back in the bin. I usually clean up my sewing room when I finish each day so that it doesn't get out-of-control messy. I do the sorting while I'm cleaning up so that sorting doesn't become a chore in itself.
