Would someone like to come to my house and organize my scraps? Have 3 66 qt containers full!

I do not cut my scraps until I want to use them. I have strips in one plastic bag (came with a sheet set), for a strip quilt; I have a bin of large scraps, one of 2.5 inch squares (left over from a Grandmother's flower garden quilt, and a bin of small scraps, at least 1 inch square. Anything else I put in large store bags to use for stuffing for dog beds or other projects. They are washable and plentiful!

I do a lot of applique, so I use the lids to boxes or pieces of heavy cardboard to lay out overlaping pieces sorted by color and so that each piece has a small portion showing. I have about 10 trays that I lay in the drawers of a double dresser. For very small scraps, I just use a popcorn tin.

I use empty spinach containers for strings and selvedges.For larger scraps I have the plastic stacked drawers.
