I used to keep everything just the way it was. I was up to six totes full of scraps. Just decided I had to get rid of some of them so I took anything smaller than 1/8 yard and donated it to the local women's club to make quilts. I still have two large totes full of scraps that I am keeping. I plan to cut anything I can into 2 1/2 inch strips to do jelly roll race quilts. The rest I hope to use in scrappy quilts of some kind.
