We seem to have the same plastic storage drawers, I have rather a lot and find them ideal. Being a KF Collective nutcase mine seem to be filled with all sizes of his fabrics, however, tI think I should follow your example and cut/sort as I go rather than throw them in one box.Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-72937830174076910672019-05-16T07:49:06.974-07:002019-05-16T07:49:06.974-07:00I love the locker basket idea!

I am so glad you shared your scrappiness with us because I am pretty sure we are in the exact same boat with the amounts:0 Don't you wish you could just take 2 months and do nothing else but work with the scraps, I mean absolutely nothing else.

Color sorting works well for me for now.

I have one big basket right below me and everything gets tossed in there as I cut and have leftover bits. It's a pain to go through and sort them!

I appreciate you sharing with us. Oh - you should share your stash of 2.5" squares, which is really amazing. I actually cut very small scraps into 2.5" and my collection is growing. I still want you to come over and organize mine for me....I just never seem to find the time!
