Oh goodness, now I feel like a lazy chick.....my scraps are tossed into a basket. Actually it's two round hampers. I flipped the lid over and my husband cut boards to fit them. I use them as nightstands in the spare bedroom--just cover them with tablecloths.

This is so cute. I love it. Whatever it takes.. that is why this group is so awesome. We are such a nicely varied group of people that all add color and texture to this forum. I love that you are utilizing space so efficiently

My scraps are in large ziplocs, sorted by colors. If they are big enough to fold, they aren't really a scrap, although I am putting larger pieces in my scrap bags than I used to. I also have a big bag of selvages with the other scraps.

All the ziplocs are in a rubbermaid tote.

OK.. I just love you folks.. I have read your replies to my post here and decided to repurpose an identical storage tower that I currently use for tools and notions, for just my scraps. It has 8 drawers I think. Currently it is holding multitudes of items for tropical bird making toys. It is solved... I have my scrap organizer. Thanks!

By size, with all the same fabric in that particular size together. I've only got another 4 big totes to cut and organize. LOL

Holy Moly Poco... I have to get caught up. They are coming faster and faster now.

depens on the quilt patterns you like i am only just starting orgaise my scraps---have chosen 2-3 patterns using strips= strings i spy 6x 6 mixed 6x6 if ever i manage to get a photo up ill show some [ so far 3 charity quilts]

right now all my scraps are in industrial size dish tubs=the gray ones they bus tables with. The two tubs are overflowing.

I haven't decided on my system yet. Maybe by the end of the week.

Still cleaning my sewing room.

I sort them by size and type. strips together blocks together and the like. Atleast thats how it was Friday! I have a newly sewing nearly 8 yr old who has completely raided my scraps! It is a big ol pile of cotton right now. Im not touching it, It can stay that way! breath... must learn to share.......

Oh Megan, you are so funny. sharing scraps with an 8 year old.. you are brave and very kind. I haven't had to play nice that bad yet.
