Scraps wouldn't be wasted, lots of warm hugs would be created and you'd have a lot of laughs and share some wisdom along with fabric and quilting ideas.
This looks like a really good idea. I have had success making scrappy log cabins of various sizes. bbacked with flannel they make great lap quilts, with pieces of fleece led warmers while one watches TV and even great big queen sized quilts for kids beds. Happy piecing.
