First I studied the fabric requirements for the size of the quilt I wanted in order to figure out how many rectangles and squares I needed (seems like it was over 1,000!!). Then I pulled out my scraps and cut the ones with the colors I wanted to use. Lastly I figured out the colors I was missing to round out the range I wanted in the quilt and pulled fat quarters from my stash and used parts of them. I buy solid black and white by the bolt so always have that on hand.
Fortunately (or unfortunately!!!) I have enough scraps and fat quarters to make MANY of these!!
