I keep the small stuff, just throw it all in a plastic bin and when I want to make a scrappy quit or a PP project with small pcs. I pull it out. It amazes me when I make an entire quilt of that stuff and don't even put a dent in it.

I'm planning a jelly roll quilt and a scrap flying geese quilt, so ---- a. one 2 1/2" strip and b. one 5 3/4 squares for speed piece geese and c.) no more than four 3 x 5 bricks for geese. I try really hard to throw things smaller than this away, but I've found a little container to save them. Can't seem to through away even bits.
