I had so many scraps that I cut them into 2 1/2" widths, and no longer than 6". I put them into a laundry basket and randomly picked a strip ( the only rule is no matching strips sewed together) and sewed them together on the narrow width of the fabric. I kept rolling the strip into a large ball and then I cut a long strip from the ball that was the width I wanted for the quilt. Keep cutting strips this length and joining them together until you have the length you want. Don't worry about matching fabrics. When it is all together you have a brick wall quilt. This is an old Kaye Woods pattern and I got a lot of compliments on a very easy quilt. I then used fabric from that big ball to crochet an oval rug and I made a basket from Aunt Philly's pattern for the guest bathroom. I firmly believe that when you turn off the lights in your sewing room at night, those scraps are breeding because there are always more and more.
