Rolling Up Fabric Scraps
Not sure I've ever seen this before so I thought I'd ask. I have started to "roll" my fabric scraps, especially the strips. I take a dowel and kay it over the end of the strip and roll it up and pull the dowel out. The "rollups" fit nicely into a large plastic box. I find its easier to find the ones I want rather than hanging lots of strips on hangars in a closet.
Anybody else roll their scrap stash.

I do that too. But my rolls are usually strips left over from each quilt. It really comes in handy when you are looking for a specific color or fabric. Since it was used in "this quilt", it is in this roll, etc. I had a quilt top I made a few years ago and wanted to finish. When I pulled it out to quilt, it just needed something else. I decided to add applique to the corners and partial border, so I just pulled out the roll that I used in the original quilt. So much easier than digging in my stash for all the fabrics used.

I usually have left over strips from jelly rolls and strips I cut with the Go. They go in my strip bin for foundation piecing. One bin for lights and one for darks. It would take me a long time to roll them but I like the idea.
