I make many comfort quilts each year. My go to is "Shirley's Quilt" that I designed in memory of a member of our guild who passed away. Free pattern is at my friend's blog
http://b-quilts.com/blog/?p=4738. I cut my scraps into 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 and keep them organized (and flat) in a drawer. I can whip one out in no time and each quilt looks different because I use different scraps and different sashing.
