The whole point of sorting your scraps and leftovers is NOT storing them. The real point of sorting is knowing what you have so you can begin to use your scraps and stash. :)
Keep your eyes open for patterns that use the stash items you have. In the meantime, pull out some strips, small squares or half-square triangles. Press them so they are flat and ready to work with. Keep a box of them next to your sewing machine and use pairs of them** as "run-offs" while you are piecing other projects. (**Pair up your squares or triangles by light/dark. Strips can be paired up according to length; choose colors at random.) Before you know it, you will have enough of these units to use in a quilt top!
