I store mine by color and size in stacks this way I see what I have when I make scrap quilts for charity. If you don't want to be bothered with your scraps I'll pay postage for them. I never have too many scraps or remnants for the kids quilts I make and donate to kids in crisis, help closet.

I use the square clear plastic boxes that grape tomatoes come in at Sam's Club to store charm sized squares. Larger plastic boxes that kiwi come in for jelly roll sized strips, rolled up. I recently cut up all my misc. scraps into 2", charm sized, and jelly-roll sized pieces (in various lengths). I decided to keep it to three sizes since I don't have a lot of storage space and the more things I have the same size the more likely I will USE them instead of COLLECT them. I'm determined not to build up a huge stash, but continually use it.
