I keep the small pieces in a plastic bag and hunt through them for a certain color when I am making a scrap quilt. I save extra cut pieces in bags with all the extra from that quilt. Then I keep my eye out for a new pattern that would fit those pieces. Flying geese looks like it would fit one of my stashes. I am not a very fast quilter so I don't have a lot of "leftovers". The larger pieces I leave as is and fold them up on a shelf. Whenever I need a certain color it is usually there. Really helpful in scrap quilts. I am making a "flip-flop quilt for my sister's guest house near the pool. I had enough brightly colored material to cut out 30 pairs of flip flops. It is so pretty and colorful.
