I attended a Scrap Crazy class and they gave us a box with four drawers as part of the class. So when I cut, I go ahead and make squares out of left overs and put them in that size drawer. Then when I see someone on the QB looking for squares...off they go to a new home. ANd I make more friends. Some call it the Lumber Jack system...2 x 4's, 1 x 8", 4 x 4's, get it????When I post I have scraps for the first to PM me I get a lot of quick responses and I feel bad so I make more up really quick and send them all some. LOL. Love to Pay It Forward. Happy scrapping everyone. It only takes an extra minute or two to put a smile on another quilter's face.

I think I didn't send reply correctly, so here it is again.
Thanks for your offer, I PM'd you today and I already have many ideas for using the scraps. I will be haunting the mailman until they come.
Thanks again!

Now, I keep the bigger pieces and the small ones go in the garbage.
I used to keep every tiny scrap but found I didn't have room for them and they did take up a lot of my time sorting, storing, looking for, etc. so now I keep anything at that is least 2" May in Jersey
