Here's what I'm talking about. Remember that I'm only going to make 2-3 blocks out of each (non-background) fabric.
For this block, I'd need to cut 2 sizes of strips. I'd also need to cut 2 sizes of strips for the smaller size of this that I want to make. Instead, I cut a 6 incher and slice and dice it in various ways for the 2 blocks. Then I can save the rest as a non-custom chunk to use in other projects.

My goal is to be efficient, to minimize the scrap strips I have from the project and to avoid slicing too much into the original fabric, so that I lock myself into certain sized strips if I want to use the fabric for future projects.
Is there a better way?
Is 6" a good size or is there a size that is better?
I'm asking about scrap minimization rather than scrap organization. ;-).
Those are my questions.
