I find that if I heavily starch my string squares the paper is easier to remove. However, starch does make fabric shrink. Best of luck.

I have others I want to do first! I've not tried sorting by color yet, and I think I need to do that. I'm a little tired of the "kitchen sink" approach lately. <br />Loved your Mom's chicken story!

Your method of putting like colours into individual totes sounds like a great way to deal with them. I'm certainly going to give it a try.

And preferably come and organise mine too. LOL. I used to just cut them up into squares and strips and sort them by size (works reasonably well because I often need a bunch of say 3" squares.) Then I started on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and they have a colour per month, so the previous system didn't work too well. So now I have been sorting my colour. But that hasn't worked too well because I still need to just grab a bunch of 3" squares, and never mind the colours!! And I haven't mentioned the humungous tote of scraps which are waiting to be chopped and sorted. Oh well. It'll keep me occupied til I'm 6 foot under I guess.
