Oh goodness, now I feel like a lazy chick.....my scraps are tossed into a basket. Actually it's two round hampers. I flipped the lid over and my husband cut boards to fit them. I use them as nightstands in the spare bedroom--just cover them with tablecloths.

My scraps are in large ziplocs, sorted by colors. If they are big enough to fold, they aren't really a scrap, although I am putting larger pieces in my scrap bags than I used to. I also have a big bag of selvages with the other scraps.
All the ziplocs are in a rubbermaid tote.

OK.. I just love you folks.. I have read your replies to my post here and decided to repurpose an identical storage tower that I currently use for tools and notions, for just my scraps. It has 8 drawers I think. Currently it is holding multitudes of items for tropical bird making toys. It is solved... I have my scrap organizer. Thanks!

right now all my scraps are in industrial size dish tubs=the gray ones they bus tables with. The two tubs are overflowing.
I haven't decided on my system yet. Maybe by the end of the week.
Still cleaning my sewing room.
