This is how I organize my scraps. I cut them all into strips and squares. I have strips as small as 1" all the way up to 5" and squares from 2" up to 6" and a few 10" squares from a swap. I bought the stacking drawers a couple of months ago so I have 9 drawers and I just love them for the squares and strips. I make a lot of scrappy quilts and this makes it so easy!

Now that's organized!!! All my scraps are in a large garbage can for sorting later.

So neat and tidy. I'm JEALOUS!

That is fabulous. I wish I had more more to use the stackable drawers. May have to seriously get rid of some furniture. LOL

This doesn't take up much room! And worth every inch of space!!

i may just have to give that a try! thanks so much for sharing!

mequilter 02-14-2011 06:38 PM

Wow, what a wonderful way to have your scraps all organized. I've tried to cut my leftovers into strips when I have a little left & actually have them in one drawer.

roseOfsharon 02-14-2011 06:39 PM

A great idea! Thanks for sharing!

JEM65 02-14-2011 06:56 PM

Fabulous! So organized! What a wonderful fabric stash you have & love the idea of pre-cutting all of the scraps to squares and strips!

Beautiful, great job.

Now that is discipline. I'll bet you frequently get that wonderful feeling of making something out of nothing. That is the BEST!

Minnesewta-sam 02-15-2011 03:09 AM

Something else for my to-do list. Looks very nice.

raedar63 02-15-2011 06:20 AM

So organized. If all of your house is like that, you live in my dream house. Please come over and help me out.
