My scraps have grown exponentially this year. I'm about to be buried in them.
I literally have a trash bag (a 30 gallon/120 liter size) full of 1.5" strips, 2 of 2.5" strips and one of 2" strips. That's four large trash bags (I bought special clear 120 liter trash bags that I use for them)...they are full.
It is past time to get going again,
but I've been spending time finishing up a bunch of tops in the last three months that I've not made the scrap pile go down much.
A lot of it is my own fault. When we were in the states this past May/June, I bought all cotton shirts with interesting prints at thrift stores for "stuff a bag for $1" type deals and I cut them all into strips and brought them back in my luggage when we returned. So, I knowingly and willfully added to my strips... I just couldn't resist.

These are awesome. My favorite blocks are nine patches. I am in love with the one with white sashing. Thank you for showing us the variety that different sashing and color can add to a "little ole'" nine patch.
