A couple of years ago, I took all my scraps that were big enough and cut 5" squares from them. I had about 4000 squares in a wide variety of colors and patterns. I put them in clear plastic shoe boxes according to color. Since then i have made several quilts from them. I used solids and prints of a similar color to make 9-patches and tied them all together with sashing. I also made one just of all different colors and patterns just being sure not to get two alike together. It turned out very pretty. I also used some of these squares to make 2 I Spy quilts. I did one of 4patch blocks. There are a lot of ways to use these blocks. Two squares together will give you 2 sets of half square triangles.
Have fun.
