Processing and Storing Scraps

 I have two stacking units in which I store my organised scraps.  These have been ironed and cut into useful strip or block sizes.  I try to keep the scraps as large as possible, as they are then more flexible when making quilts.  Ironed scraps take up far less space in storage.  I try to keep strips of each size together in a pile.

Each drawer stores a different colour.  

In addition I have a basket full of fabric crumbs that are not sorted or ironed.

I try to spend a morning one day a month processing my scraps...otherwise I become overwhelmed with them.
