I sort my scraps by color. I like to make 24 or 48 blocks string blocks using the same color for the diagonal center strip, this gives the scrappy quilt a little unity. I used lightweight light colored fabrics for the foundation of the string blocks.
Other times I make simple 9 patch blocks and have one square in each block in the same color, it doesn't have to be the same fabric, just the same color.
