Scrap User's System

Just wondering, does anybody use Bonnie's ( Scrap User system? Or any other similar system for managing scraps? Here's a direct link: 'm interested to hear other people's ideas on taming the scrap baskets.I'm just curious...my New Year's Resolution is to tame my scraps. And, I am happy to say, that I have already started. I decided to just go with straight 2 1/2" squares; 2 1/2" strips; and 1 1/2" strips. Anything that doesn't fit into that goes to the trash or to the crumb envelope.I'm going to use the squares for leaders/enders, so maybe one day, I will have a ton of four patches or whatever I decide to sew them into. I think I must have cut about 200 squares just from my green scrap basket. **whew**Speaking of crumb envelope, any crumb quilters out there? I have a half full priority envelope now that will surely be full after I hit the next color of my scrap basket. Right now, the envelope is filled with greens. If you want the envelope, I'll be happy to mail it when it is full. Just shoot me an email at: quilting4ever at cox dot net.Juli

Elly,

I just call anything smaller than I will use normally a crumb. The smallest I cut up my squares are 2 1/2"...but I have heard of crumbs being smaller than 1 1/2"...
