I've looked at various options for scraps and found a few things that are specific to how I quilt. I don't do a ton of quilting so my scrap variety is small. Having multiple totes or bins for various sizes isn't something I have space for. I decided a while ago, that the parts of scrap cutting that work for me at the 2.5 and 3.5" squares. My goal is when the drawer for each size is full I'll make a quilt with those pieces - so I have an end game in mind, not just random cutting up my scraps. An added bonus is that I have raided those drawers a few times when looking for "just one more" square for a work in progress. I now get a sense of satisfaction when cutting down random scraps as I make a quilt. Having all the odd little pieces around is no longer driving me nuts.
