I get alot of fabric from garage sales, which I only use for charity quilts. But I took Bonnie Hunter's suggestion (quiltville.com) to cut them into strips. So I cut 2", 2 1/2", 3", & 3 1/2" strips. When you want to do a scrappy they are all cut & ready to go. She has free patterns. My 2 1/2" drawer got so full I started sewing them & it's a "no brainer" for times when you want to sew, but not think!!
