what are 'scraps' to you

Well.....i more consider scraps to be "odd" shaped or small pieces. I have clear closed boxes (about large shoe box size) with folded fabric pieces in them that are more or less than FQs, each box a different color group - i consider them and my yardage as my "stash".
Strips, small squares, other small bits go into the scraps category - hopefully if i'm being extra good - in separate appropriate bins!!

For me, if I have a piece under 1/2 yard, it gets cut into smaller pieces starting with 10" squares and going down to 5" squares....anything less is no longer a scrap, but trash...For most patterns, it will take more than 1/2 yard pieces.

Anything less than 1.5" gets tossed. Moving upwards, I'll cut leftovers to the largest size that the fabric allows: 2" strips or squares, 2.5" strips or squares, 3"... Anything 4" or more goes back into the "up to fat quarter" bin. You never know when you're going to want/need that weird border...
I don't want to cut down fabric prematurely. I would rather keep it in the largest size it will allow.
