I put my larger pieces FQish in clear boxes like zozee, and also by color. Smaller pieces up to 7" get sorted by size, not color because if I have a pattern that calls 2.5" of blues, it's easier to look in the 2.5" and the 5" boxes and pick out the blues rather than going to a blue scrap box and measuring each piece that "looks" like it might be the right size.
No precutting! you never know what size you'll need.
