What patterns do you like to make? I do like jelly rolls and have made many scrappy ones so of course, I cut a lot of my scraps into 2.5 inch strips, doesn't matter how short or long they are. I can also use those strips for my scrappy quilt binding or cut them narrower for my string quilts. Fat quarters can also be cut into 2.5 inch strips or different size squares. I usually cut six inch blocks from FQs to make the disappearing nine patch. People give me their scraps that they don't want to deal with and I usually cut them into 2.5 strips or different size blocks. Just make sure you start using them or you will have a whole different problem.
