I like to cut my scraps into strips that are 6.5 long by various widths, and then I make scrappy quilts by just sewing all those strips into "coin stack" type columns. My last one included bargello strips too - I just cut them to 6.5 and threw them right in. It does sort of lose the gradient but then you get little 3-color spots in the columns. I love scrappy quilts so to me that's just super cool.
