Thanks for all the posts, I have the same organizing issue. What is a crumb quilt? Maybe I'll get motivated to do what I should have done a long time ago.

Close your eyes, grab a strip. Those furkids are asking for a blanket!!

I would iron everything first and make into fat quarters or less. There are many people who use scraps for charity quilts if you like to share

I've spent the last 4 days going thru my scraps and cutting them into blocks for scrappy quilts. Now when I"m ready, I and can start sewing.

I have recently discovered 2 1/2 gallon Ziploc bags. They are great for storing fabric, quilt blocks, notions, etc. Another idea is to spend some time cutting your scraps into more usable items such as strips (2 inch or 2.5 are good sizes to use) or squares of sizes that you can later use. I have created containers for strips of various sizes and squares of like sizes. Someday I will have enough collected to do a quilt. I can also look in the container when I need a strip or square of a certain size. When I am cutting for a quilt, I try to cut my scraps into these sizes that can later be used.

I store scraps I cut into the biggest sizes in my "lumberyard" drawers. 2x2, 4 x 4,1 x 4, 4 x 8,12 x 12 etc. Those wonderful stacking drawers you can buy at Big lots. When the drawers get full, I put them in a baggie and offer them on here to those who need them. And then the selvedges, smaller pieces and odd shapes go into baggies to give away on here too. Where there's a will, there's a quilter's way. :)
