In a big bag with a skull and cross bones on it!!!

I store my scraps in baggies by colors. Pieces of like size & color (2 1/2″ strips, or 2 1/2″) are also together in baggies and sometimes by color or type if the baggie is exploding!

I store my scraps in containers by color, except for those I have cut into 5-inch squares or 2.5 inch strips.

My scraps are crammed into bags – by color (sort of….)

I store scrap squares in plastic shoe boxes by size (1 1/2″, 2″, 2 1/2″, 3″). Larger scraps are sorted by color on shelves in my sewing room.

My scraps live colour-sorted. Larger ones are folded and lined up in a dresser (always a treat to open the drawers). Smaller ones are in a plastic container. Tiny ones I should probably throw out are shoved into a glass container. And batik scraps are kept separately from the regular quilting cottons :).

I store my scraps in plastic bins, and in boxes and in bags.

I store my scraps in drawers with like colors.

I store my scraps by solid color vs print. I do put smaller scraps in zip lock bags and larger scraps on a shelf.

I usually have fabric leftover from a project, so I fold my stray pieces into the fabric and put back into my stacks. That way, I do not have two places to look for whatever I need, and I don’t have another pile of something. I do have one small bag for scraps that I have had for quite a few years, because I keep forgetting about it when I need a small scrap.

Most of my smaller scraps are in zip lock bags – wide strips, narrow strips, and other. Larger scraps are in plastic tubs.

First, all of my Christmas fabrics are stored together, then my fabrics are stored by color, and then the scraps are just all together in one bin. Thanks!

My scraps all go in a tub and then usually once per year, I will go thru it and sort and cut into usable sizes. I loosely follow Bonnie Hunters scrap system and it works pretty good as long as I remember to check my scrap precuts when I am starting a new project before just grabbing yardage. haha
