i cut leftovers into 2,2.5,3 inch strips, and into 2,3.5 and 5" squares, put them in clear shoe boxes, the rest is all tossed into a tub, when it gets to full, i give away, seldom use any of it

I toss all my scraps in a bakset next to my sewing machine. I use the small scraps for leaders and enders and the bigger scraps to foundation piece blocks. I end up with a pile of blocks instead of a pile of scraps. It's the only way I can keep my scraps controlled.

All my real teeny scraps go in one box. Bigger scraps not yet by colour but 3 separate boxes of prints, solids, and Christmas prints (I do alot of Christmas things for selling). But the boxes are getting harder to close so I guess next step is colour sorting.

Mine are all in one big tote. Maybe someday I'll sort them.
