I did the same thing with my daughters Burgoyne Surround in a scrappy. Cut the squares into 1.5" squares, put them in a paper bag, gave it a good shake, pulled out one square at a time. My only rule was I could not have the same colors side by side, so one change was allowed, just reach back in and grab another. Here she is, 1" finished squares!!
