Cut your scraps into squares (any size you want). Put all squares into a paper bag and shake up. Pull one square out (without looking!) and then pull another out (don't look!) and sew together. Continue in this fashion and make your 9 patch or 12 patch or whatever and presto -- you have a scrappy quilt!!
OR get your six year old to pick the scraps! That what I did for Joey's lap quilt (in my avatar). And I DID NOT cheat - although sometimes I wanted to!
