How To Organize Your Scraps

how to organize your scraps

We all have scraps, right? But what to do with them is what most of us ask ourselves. For the longest of time, I just threw them away. GASP!

Come on, really, THEY WERE CALLED SCRAPS FOR A REASON, right?

Long ago, I had cut my scraps into 2.5” squares and 4” squares, back then that’s the ones that I used the most and I had put them in ziploc baggies and there they sat…see picture below.

2.5" and 4" squares

Now, I put my scraps into a trash bin and when that gets full I start to cut them into 2.5” and 3” strips, and 2.5”, 5”, and 6 1/2” squares. These are the sizes I use the most now and I put these strips or squares into bins of their own. These make amazing scrappy quilts.

What sizes do you cut your scraps into?
