This is my current project, when I can steal some time for it: to cut all my scraps according to the ScrapTherapy method; so that's 2", 3.5", and 5" squares. (I bought
the book.
) My rule for myself is that no matter the size of the piece of leftover fabric (a lot from sewing garments), if it's been cut into at all, it's a scrap, and it gets cut into squares. Larger pieces that have not been cut into get stashed whole with the fat quarters I've not used yet.
I plan to use up these scraps on baby/donation/gift quilts.
Sometimes I second guess myself, whether I should be cutting strips per the Bonnie Hunter method, as they are often a lot easier to work with than separate squares. But when I see pictures of boxes full of strips all jumbled together, I just can't do it! It makes my organizing heart happy to see those tidy piles of squares in my shoe boxes, all sorted according to size and value. But that's just me - visual clutter stresses me out.
