I have found the scrappy nine patch set on point a beautiful quilt to make when trying to "sew up the stash". I made one recently for a full size bed with various beige and neutral sashings and a deep red border and it is great. I have been piecing for 25 years so am not new to the art. I do not hand quilt but send them out.
I cut my left overs of pretty fabrics in 2 and a half inch strips and use the Quilt in a Day method to make bright blocks until there are plenty for a quilt. I make the strips with the end of all fabrics and make lots of these for my great grandchildren's bed. It is peaceful non waste of my time and enjoyed by others.
