LOL.
Scraps are a problem.
Any thing smaller than a fat quarter I cut into 5 inch squares for charm quilts.
There is a quilt pattern for using strips of all sizes but the book is out of print.
Basic instruction is cut strips 1,2,3,4,5. All with an added 1/2 inch.
Then make strip sets that add up to 6 1/2 inchs. Example: 3 1/2 plus 3 1/2 = 6 1/2. Then combine them to make a 12 1/2 inch square.
This pattern was a Sewing with Nancy book called Scrap Happy Quilts. It was the most fun quilt I ever made.
