I saw Bonnie Hunter in person a couple of weeks ago. She showed beautiful quilts she had made from scraps. If I ever get around to organizing my scraps, I'll try to use her suggestions as found on quiltville.com Have fun.

Wow the end result quilt would drive me crazy. I looks like the quilter had way too much to drink. :)

I iron my small scraps and keep them on a shelf in my sewing room. When I say small, I mean the sizes you are talking about, not FQ size. I am not cutting them because I have not picked out my (someday absolutely beautiful) scrap pattern yet. I may need them for corner triangles which require more fabric in a weird shape or for applique.
