I've been in a slump/not quilting for about a week, and was hoping it would lift soon, and oddly enough the thunder storm this morning that's still here through me back into quilting.

Now for my question, I'm making a quilt for my brother, he designed the front, and for the back, I was debating about using denim in the same pattern or a crazy quilt like back. He said he'd like denim, but as I'm going to fmq it (first time) denim seams a little harder so I'm going with the crazy backing. How would I go about doing this? I don't want to foundation piece it and would like to use my scraps of odd shapes on it. Should I do this in large blocks or just start building on one piece? Like start in the center and build out until it's big enough?
