Since I don't have a design wall, I put my blocks or scraps on the (clean)floor/rug to get an idea of colors/blocks to put together. I will pin two or more pieces of scraps together so I know I want these colors to work together. I love those scrappy quilts. I see my blouses/dresses left over scraps where I keep these to make quilts. Brings back memories of those good times. My grandmother did this with worn out cloths that still had good parts of material from aunt/uncle, brothers/sisters cloths along with scraps left over. I think of those as memory quilts.
