Hello, Hello, friend after my own heart
If I were you I would cut them up. I have a box of 5 inch square that I add or use from all the time. It.s a lot of fun to make a Drunkard's Path by taking one square of print, then a square of plain for the other corner, sew it together at the curve, trim the print from the back and toss the cut out piece in another box for a smaller block of Drunkard's path. I've done this for years. I also make 9 patches, table runners, jackets, you name it, a 5 inch scrap goes a long way.
