I do quite a bit of PP so don't cut my scraps, never know when that funky angle is going to be perfect. lol
Anyone getting antsy waiting for the new MT can come over to the wall hanging swap, just one wall hanging, easy peasy and will help to pass the time. lol

I try to cut all my small scraps into squares starting at 1.5" up to 8.5" Also strips in those widths. I also try to fussy cut fabrics that call for that type of cutting using the pieces in between to make small squares. I put them up according to color schemes. My biggest problem is that all too often I forget those boxes and head to the quilt store and buy more fabric rather then trying to use what I already have. I love fabric so any excuse to buy more is good. LOL.

When cutting for a quilt, I always cut extra strips (just in case I cannot count when cutting squares). When the top is finished, I cut some of the extra strips into squares, some I leave in strips for future Jelly Roll quilts or to cut into 1" strips for Locker Hooking projects. The extra squares are sometimes used for blocks for guild swaps or for charity blocks.
