I fold it into 1/4 WOF wide cross grain and then fold up along anything greater than 18 along the length up at 18", then in half (9") and then thirds (3") and store it on edge with 1/2 yard cuts in my drawers. Final dimension 1/4 width of fabric by 3" high. This height fits in my drawers so I can see the edges.<br /><br />If it is between 1/4 yard and 1/2 yard I want it to fit with my fat quarters. I again adhere to the fold at 1/8 WOF, then up at 18" then 9" then in thirds to 3" and store double columned in drawers. Even if I have something 25" or 32" yard long by 1/4 width of fabric wide it folds up to starts out 18" long along in length and 1/8 WOF in width and then winds up 1/8 WOF wide by 3" tall and stored with fat quarters.<br /><br />Less than that, I store in quart size zip lock bags combined as the colors were in the quilt they came from. After all, if the colors went together then, they probably will in a future project. I then store these packets in a plastic bins kicked under my drawered storage units. Someday, maybe someday, these will be a scrap quilt. For now I have enough stash and enough things I want to do that I do not have the incentive to make a randomized scrap quilt even though many of them are extremely lovely. I also cannot throw out those darn scraps. They can be used for paper piecing or appliqués if I ever do either. <br /><br />For ideas on scrap quilts check out<br />http://quiltingismorefunthanhousework.blogspot.com/p/scrap-palooza-quilt-gallery.html <br /><br />Thanks for visiting and asking, TamiDianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-83987051674834383942016-04-21T19:59:50.706-07:002016-04-21T19:59:50.706-07:00Just like your projects, your stash is so well tho...Just like your projects, your stash is so well thought out and organized. I have a question - how do you store scrap pieces or cuts that are not fat quarter, half yard or whole yard? They give me fits since they don't fold neatly and, if folded, I have no clue how much of it I actually have. Just curious if you have tips.<br /><br />Thanks.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-59372516428243877752016-04-10T22:51:19.538-07:002016-04-10T22:51:19.538-07:00Thank you!

What we need more than new clothes and burp clothes and blankets are the essentials this time around - boring stuff, like diapers, wipes, Desitin, and nursing bras. We have a small registry on Amazon.

I saved all the ones that you made for Vivian. ��Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962678674987267712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-88626337229713500862016-04-08T14:43:00.066-07:002016-04-08T14:43:00.066-07:00Ha!

And if you want to talk me into something, show me a picture of your 1+ Yard cuts, for currently I am in a clothing phase. I do love those buttons, though, and that FMQ design. The ducks pattern is also adorable, but I bet you'll get around to it before I will, even with your backlog.RobinLovesQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916564818055052041noreply@blogger.com
