I love the quilt pattern called One for the Money but it requires yardage rather than scraps or FQs. A friend of mine once participated in a stripe swipe. The idea was so simple. For each block they took two squares of striped fabric (A and B) and placed them on top of each other then cut them into quarter square triangles. Then they took opposite triangles and paired them up to resew them. To clarify, the first block's "north and south" triangles were fabric A and the "east and west" triangles were the B fabric. The second block was the opposite. Then they swapped blocks. The quilts were spectacular.

Caution - these quilts probably would not appeal to those who
prefer coordinated colors, they were busy!
