here's a graph (I obsessed about) to come up with the scrap sizes to cut:
Beginning Unfinished Blocks
HST 4Patch 9Patch 16 Patch
1.5" 2.5" 3.5" 4.5"
2.0" 1" 3.5" 5.0" 6. 5"
2.5" 1.5" 4.5" 6.5" 8.5"
3.5" 2.5" 6.5" 9.5" 14.5"
since most quilt patterns can be graphed into geo shapes of HST, blocks, & combos thereof
my thinking was, I can just pull my precut strips, combine them to my heart's content & be confident they'll all go together. I don't even need to have a pre conceived pattern. I can just play till I decide how I want to put them together. this idea appeals to me immensely.

Reason: graph didn't come out right.
