Mr Google told me .... A Quilter’s Lumberyard® is a unique system of scrap management. Use the “lumberyard” approach to cut, organize, and store scraps in usable sizes and you are always ready to sew gorgeous scrappy quilts.

I don't like the lumberyard or cut as you go system. I keep pieces smaller than a quarter yard in a pile by itself. Smaller pieces go into my scrap bags sorted into lights, mediums and darks. When I want enough for a sample block or an applique I haven't already cut it into small blocks or shapes that have to be used for a specific purpose. I just cut as needed for specific projects.

I'm of the "sort it but don't cut it" school of thought.
My dark / medium / light scraps go into 3 large bins with lids.
You just never know what kind of creativity will come to you and what size or shape fabric you'll need! :)
