Default Cutting up scraps

For years now, I've been saving my scraps from left over strips, bindings, quilt borders etc. Basicially just shoving them in a drawer (out of site, out of mind) until the drawer no longer closed. These are all strips of 1 1/2", 2", and 2 1/2", some have wonky edges that need to be trimmed. Started trimming into useable sizes on Wednesday, but my hip doesn't like sanding at the cutting table for more than 30 minutes, so I work for a while and then go do something else. I may be finished by Monday evening if I'm lucky! Have plans for the 1 1/2" strips, other sizes will work into scrap quilts somewhere along the line.
My Sterlite drawer is still half full and the baskets are what I've cut so far. How do you handle your scraps?
