Jordan, I do like to have the scraps blend with each other somewhat and compliment too. A little on the controlled scrappy side. It is addicting once you start and sometimes anything goes. Try a small project to see if the fun is there for you.
Maviskw, I've "made fabric" with crumbs and pieces too. Then they can be cut into shapes or squares and used to enhance other quilts or stand alone. So many possibilities.
