Go on line to quiltville.com and check out Bonnie K Hunter she saves everything. The smallest pieces being about an inch strips and squares. She has a system of organizing her stash that is terrific. I took one of her classes in Sept or Oct (can't remember) and have been sloly reorganizing. She also has a lot of free patterns and mystery quilts on her site. (I'm not a family member or anything just a great fan)

I loveeeeeee my scraps!! To me scraps are odd shaped and smaller than a fat quarter. Mine are sorted by color into plastic shoe boxes. Fat quarter sized pieces are kept together and larger than that goes into my stash cabinet.

I am beginning to cut all scraps into 3" wide strips. I am going to make scrap coin quilts with them. Anything I have left when I am done, I will post here as a freebie. I will label it as such when I post it, in case some of you want them. Keep watching for a post that says 'freebie scraps'.

I find once I cut them into strips or squares etc. I am more reluctant to use them. LOL... I don't know why that is. But the untrimmed scraps I never hesitate to grab and use in a project. Maybe it's just because they look so nice all stacked in their piles of strips, squares and triangles.
