I throw all mine into a basket. My DH emptied them into the bin recently (thinking they were rubbish) and I almost cried! I managed to salvage most of them and put them back in their basket where they will sit quite happily until I sort them. How stupid am I?

I had two crates full of scraps so sorting thru I decided to cut larger scraps into 5 inch squares and strips into 2 1/2 inchs. I now have one crate of scraps instead of two and have even used alot of the 5inch squares.

That isn't working out too bad actually.
I don't sort by color. I just toss all into a basket for later...much later!

Surfed around on the 'Net looking at pics that others posted of their stashes. Let me say, it's as bad as being in a fabric store-----OK, not THAT bad. I can't buy anything in someone else's picture! LOL

Talk about surfing and finding goodies in pics...it ain't the same as IRL, but it's a close second :P !
