check out the above web site from Bonnie Hunter.
I think you will find alot of useful information

I tried to click on to view this, but message came up that "Wesite cannot be displayed"

:? :cry:

That website displayed okay. THANKS! Bonnie Hunter's method of scrap organization is similar but different from Scrap Therapy, in that she prefers to cut strips rather than squares. Whatever works .... "To each his own", as my Mom loved to say! I have found it helpful to cut 2 1/2" strips in addition to the 5 - 3 1/2 - 2 inch squares, especially with all the jelly roll pattens available. One thing I like about Bonnie Hunter's method is that she only sorts by darks & lights, rather than than darks, lights and mediums. It's all relative, anyways, when you get around to piecing. To save on "decision time", I think I will adopt that theory and just sort by darks & lights. Learn something new every day. Thanks for your input on this subject.

I think the idea of darks, lights and mediums is good..i might have to try that..
