[QUOTE=Central Ohio Quilter;5782154]I have seen on here where some people cut up pieces in strips, squares, or other pieces. I don't understand why they cut large pieces into smaller ones without a specific purpose in mind. As soon as you cut a piece into 2 inch strips, then you will want it in 3 inch squares, or vice versa. I leave pieces uncut until I know how I want to use them.[/QUOTE

I only cut my scraps up into strips and squares. I always try to cut them at the largest measurement possible. I'm not into scrappy quilts but I may get a wild hair one day and whip one up. Or I'll offer the cuts up to someone who will use them.

When I've already used the bulk of the material on a project or two, I've started cutting the rest into various sized strips. Otherwise, I put it in a bin and forget I've got it. I'm trying to be more aware of how much and what type of fabrics I have.
