I spent yesterday and most of today sorting thru those squares I cut on someone's advise to reduce the gigantic stash I had in a monster of disorganization.

I managed to cull the squares of the ones I'll never use. I'll donate those to the local thrift shop. ... And I pulled out some matching print squares that I can pair with leftover white fabric to make 5 baby quilts!
And, yes, I still have tons of stash, and 1,000s of squares, but I'm moving in the right direction... thanks to y'all and your encouragement!
And thank you for the reminder on one of the best ways to deal with scraps and pieces. Because of you and others that continue to comment on how to take care of scrap stash things are becoming more organized. Even if you still have two tubs, they are more organized and make for easier to use. I know having the scraps cut into pieces that are often use encourages me to go there first instead of buying new fabric and still cutting it up into the same size pieces you would find in your tubs.
