welcome back to quilting and the board!!
I was blessed with one of IceBlossom's scrap boxes. I did a fast presort into main colors, setting aside the ones hand size or smaller.
I then pressed the stacks and as I pressed I sorted each color stack down into largest to smallest, so when cutting down I could make best use of the same size cuts, all the 2.5" strips at the same time, for efficiency.
I only cut 2.5", 2", and 1.5" strips so as I cut I just made three stacks, neat and tidy, easy peasy.
The hand size ones I cut down into those sizes too and boxed. I love my precut "pantry".
A large priority box took about three days.
So do a quick sort by color and the rest of the job will fall into place.
And I'll try not to lust for your treasures
