SCRAPS ARE PUT INTO BINS BY COLOR....SO, if I want to do a blue & yellow quilt, I only have to look in 2 plastic bins! saves time and keeps them from getting so 'messed up'!
i also have a plastic bin for all my novelty fabric scraps....since they are used primarily on children's quilts.
then there are bins for my flannels, my corduroy, my fancy--lace, satin (for doll clothing,e tc), bins for solids by color. you can tell i have been saving for some time!!
