    I save anything that will make a 2" square or a strip that is at least 1" wide. I have clear plastic tubs and just toss scraps into the appropriate color tub. Anything approx. fat qtr size I put with folded fabrics.

    I save everything.
    even the smallest scraps I sew them together to form larger
    pieces of fabrics( crumb blocks)
    these I cut into squares,triangles, or tumbler shapes with
    my accuquilt studio die cutter.
    combine these with a solid background fabric
    and you have some amazing quilts
    from what others call garbage!
