So, my question is...as you're accumulating scraps do you cut them in "pieces" as you get them so they're already for you to use in a scrappy quilt or something else? What size do you cut your pieces (as a general rule) or do you just cut them according to the scrap size and work with them from there?

I don't know if I'm explaining myself clearly but I hope you can give me some information that you ladies use to keep your scraps under control.
