That is the biggest or hardest part for me. After a while I just want to start on something new and not look at "oh....THAT fabric" again. Live and learn for me!
When I'm trying to use up my scraps, and the "oh... THAT fabric again" comes up, I deliberately look for enough of "THAT fabric" to try to use as the backing, just so I can get rid of it. There comes a point when I'm SICK of seeing it - but that OCD in me won't let me just throw it away.
If I really, REALLY hate it, it becomes the backing for kennel quilts. Just to get rid of it.
