Colour Sorting 3 bins of fabric scraps - hello January project.


I have a lot of fabric scraps. My sewing tends to use up big pieces of new fabric, not the bits. But I save those bits and now they are starting to stress me out! So here I am, sorting them by colour:
reds
pinks/purples
black
brown
yellow
green
blue
grey
white
orange and
Japanese prints!
My idea is to make bins (see below) for each colour, iron each scrap and fold neatly for easy access and use in my projects that use little bits. These projects are few but include t-shirt applique, ticker tape quilts, tea towels... I think that's it. So far I have 2 buckets made. I seem to have been distracted by market bags, birthday boy bags, snow biking face masks, polyester pants and a wedding dress!
