Hi Watson,
I have just made this quilt, from the book Strip Your Stash.
It turned out pretty nice and it is not that difficult to make. I have used a jelly roll but I am sure you can use any 2,5" strip as long as your strip set is at least 14 inches long. You can make this as scrappy as you wish.....
I'll try to post a pic later...

If I had a lot of scraps to use up, I wouldn't even worry about making rectangles to cut in half for all of them. I'd make left/right wedges so I can use up smaller strips.

You could make templates of the wedges - or you could make templates of each segment of the individual wedges just to make sure that your pieces are long/large enough before you sew them together and then trim down the unit after it is sewn together.

If you look at the picture each wedge has three fabrics. And if you cut the wedges one direction and then turn and cut the other to not waste material you will have two different colored wedges. So that will help with variety as well. I really like the pattern.

Thanks, everyone. I'm getting a clearer picture of how I might do this using my scraps.

LOL...couldn't sleep last night and my mind wandered to this project. I was thinking if you make a full strip segment, then cut rectangles 13.5 or 14 inches you could get 4 rectangles per segment. Then cut rectangle from corner to corner as bearisgray suggests. Using strips 14" long instead of the full wof would help you get rid of scraps...okay now I need a nap!

Please share when done...you know you could use any size strip width to equal a 6.5" strip width (like 6 1.5" strips) and really use up the scraps...oh the mind is racing.....
