When I decide to ( tame) some of my scraps I keep in mind what I tend to use most. Some may recommend specific sizes I would probably never use- so I cut to my ( style) of quilting. I also cut the largest possible first, then work my way down. (9-10" squares, 6 or 6 1/2" squares, 5". I also cut rectangles ( bricks) and strips as long as possible in widths I can get- often 3", 2 1/2", 2", 1 1/2" & 1" . 3/4" strips go into my Basket of strips for lockerhooking and wrapped clothesline projects. Think about the projects you make, and try to cut into sizes shapes you would use.
