I leave my scraps as they are and then cut them when i have a use for them. That way, i am not disappointed that it is a bit too short etc. I also would not be bothered to cut them all into neat little piles.

I cut them into various shapes with my die cutter.

Most scraps are cut into various width strips, and squares for hopefully a
future project. Larger pieces are sorted by color or theme. Unfortunately
each category seems to grow without being used, while more fabric is
purchased. So much fabric, so little time!

I used to keep everything just the way it was. I was up to six totes full of scraps. Just decided I had to get rid of some of them so I took anything smaller than 1/8 yard and donated it to the local women's club to make quilts. I still have two large totes full of scraps that I am keeping. I plan to cut anything I can into 2 1/2 inch strips to do jelly roll race quilts. The rest I hope to use in scrappy quilts of some kind.

I only toss things that are smaller than 2". I cut up my remaining fabric whenever I cut a quilt top and then I store them in plastic bags of like sizes. Some are blocks, strips, triangles what ever I can cut out of the remnants. If you don't see yourself sewing scrappy quilts I make quilts for children in crisis and will gladly take your scraps and put them to good use.

I do a lot of applique, so I leave the scraps in those weird shapes, fearful that IF I cut them , I might lose "just the right spot"

If I can square them up I do but with odd pieces I put them in with the crazy quilt pattern.

I keep all little scraps in a plastic see-thru box, along with 8" square muslin. When I feel like sewing & can't decide what to do, I sew scraps to the muslin in crazy-quilt fashion. When I have enough squares I'll put them all together!

Until recently, I had all my scraps shoved into boxes where they were creased and tangled, which meant I wouldn't use them. But now I cut them into 2 1/2" strips (like Jelly Rolls) and roll them up in matching sets. This means at least they dont' get creased any more and I love making Jelly Roll quilts. I even found a J.R. pattern which I hand piece when I go to my quilt group meetings.
