Look up Jacobs Ladder, Hunters Star, Path Through the woods, Ocean Waves, Triple Irish Chain, Ohio Star, just to name a few.
When starting a scrappy, I pull all my largest scraps between 5" up to a FQ and find a pattern that uses a large block that use a big square or HST in it. From the left overs, smaller bits and strips or leaders and enders, make small HSTs or 4P. Put them together in what ever fashion you want.
My main objective is to start with the larger scraps and work down to smaller on ones.
Path Through the Woods

Have fun searching for patterns right here on the QB and keep us up updated on what you choose to do first.
