I am on the fence about this. I hate that look too but then again I have needed that little point to make enough room for a odd shaped piece so if I can fold it up and not have a big messy pile I leave it.

People do things differently. I like to keep my big pieces together, and cut all of the small pieces into bins using Bonnie Hunter's method for a guide. It is working for me. I usually cut off a small piece of my fabric when cutting out a project, depending of what I am doing, but I do find some like that, but later on they do get trimmed and later into proper bins. I am almost caught up with my scrap control on cotton. But still out of control on my flannel, but I am getting it organized slowly. When I get this done, my second goal will be to finish up all of my UFO's, so I can move on to other projects without all that clutter going on. Wish me luck!! HA HA HA

That fabric looks like it's been used for clothing.
I have trouble with that type of leavings, because it's hard to tell where the straight grain is and that's a problem if I don't want to use the bias.
