Right now I'm just cutting whatever fabric is in the bin. If it's a scrap and I can only get one square, that's it. Bigger pieces I'll cut 4-5 squares.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I like what you're doing now - cutting from scraps, and cutting as many squares from each scrap as you can. Don't stress it and don't try to "control" your scraps; just use what you have, and don't worry if you have more of one fabric than another. My absolute favorite quilts are those made from a mish-mash of fabrics, which is what it sounds like you're doing. I can't wait to see the finished product! :D
