I saw your thread a few days ago and love the idea of the organization process. I almost started going through my scraps and sorting them... but I saved it for another day. I love the log cabin quilt. Looks great. Congrats on your progress.

When I was new to quilting, a couple of guild sisters gave me bags of their scraps. I thought it amazing that they could part with such lovely fabric. After over 500 quilts, I understand. I have got to do more scrappies as well as more organizing.

Fabulous! You log cabin is just marvelous! Doesn't it feel good to get some use out of your scraps! 
I organized mine last summer. I have them in small fabric bins (the square collapsible ones like you get at Target). Then I ironed each piece and cut them into 2 1/2 inch strips or strings. I made one string quilt (that is just marvelous...it's in my quilt-soon pile!). I have plans for another string using the blues. I also did a 'Road to California' block with a ton of the 2 1/2 squares. And I've been collecting 'jelly-roll' friendly patterns to use the 2 1/2 inch strips with. I'm trying to finish some UFO's before starting that project!
