I have my scraps in my sewing room on a bakers rack in clear shoe boxes sorted by colors. Really easy access. I don't keep a whole lot but I have a dozen or so. Pink, red, green, gold/yellow, blue, purple, brown, black and white, black, white,
and I don't know what else since I cannot see them all from here :-)

Most of my stash is scraps! I have them sorted by color - mostly, some by type - Christmas, Novelty, Civil War, Thimbleberries, Batik, 30's. I don't own many pieces of fabric larger than fat quarters and most are smaller. I love making scrap quilts and very seldom buy fabric for a specific project. I have been quilting since 1998 and for some reason, my fabric just seems to accumulate. Most of the time, the only fabric I purchase is to finish a scrappy quilt - borders & backs usually. When friends give me their leftovers, I try to cut them into 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5" squares and then I go visit Bonnie Hunter's website for quilt ideas. I use clear storage containers about the size of shoe boxes.
