Question about sewing scraps together to make squares

Instant dog bed! I use the ponytail holder so that I can keep adding to it. My dog loves it.

I too hate to throw away scraps but several years ago I discovered a pattern called Mile a Mnute. It makes use of strips and odd sized or shaped "chunks". The results are quilt blocks that look like Crazy Quilts. Add sashing or plain blocks between and the uses are endless. last year I made one with beige blocks between the colorful crazy squares and it sold for 250.00 at a church yard sale. Not bad for scraps?
