There is a site that I have been following and she uses up small scraps of fabric. I am participating in the Irish Stars quilt along but using 2" squares. She has done a quilt with 1 1/2' squares but did not advise it unless I wanted to lose my mind...(probably already have lost it). This might be something that you may want to consider using those scraps.
