I have kept pieces as large as possible when trimming scraps as I figure I can always cut smaller if I need to. I have one drawer thing of 2,1/2inch squares and strips. One with 3,1/2 and same with 5"
Alot of colors, not to many of the same color or pattern.

So.. I have the supplies, now I need the "know how". How do you choose a pattern for scrap quilts? Color pattern I figure isn't much a requirement, but I want something other than just sewing squares together. That "postage stamp" quilt makes me cross eyed! Just to much right there.

So give me some suggestions on using pretty much any size scraps to make a quilt that isn't so busy as so many prints could be. Thank you very much.
