Nope, I don't. I just stuff all my scraps into a big drawer and then pick thru it when I get scrappy.

I bundle also. I keep my bundled fabrics in a seperate bin away from my stash. When I am ready to do that project, out they come and there is no hemming and hawing. It is just cut and sew.
I already know my next project will be a black, white and purple for my DGS. I know where the fabric is, and now, as of last week, I know what pattern I am going to use. So when the Beautiful Birds quilt is done, I will be ready to start the Boxed Purples quilt.

I have so many large pieces of fabric for backings that I started picking fabrics to go with a back, and making bundles that way.

Yes I have bundles in my stash. For me the biggest piece is on the outside with the others rolled or folded in it. I use a piece of selvage to hold it together. A few have a pattern with them, but not all.

I do this too. I tie them up with cut off pieces of selvages.

Yes, I do that. Often when I'm shopping (mostly at the clearance section of the LQS), if I can find coordinating fabrics, then I buy them. I'm not very good at just picking fabrics "out of the blue" to go together, so this is an easy way to do it.

I guess I have little bundles too. I just call them UFOs. I figure if I have the fabric, the pattern, the thread all ready it already counts as a UFO. But maybe I will just call them bundles so I can feel like I am caught up.

I do this too. In fact, I plan to retire in about 12 years and my husband and I are going to buy an RV and travel so...I'm making kits to take along...I must be prepared so I don't run out! :)

I put the fabrics with a quilt apttern I want to make so it's all ready to go. It's just getting to it.
