If you want to make something dramatic try this: A Carlene Westberg pattern called Supernova. http://carlenewestbergdesigns.blogspot.com/

Everyone could make one for themselves and your little group could make one to share with someone in your community. It would be a win for everyone. Scraps wouldn't be wasted, lots of warm hugs would be created and you'd have a lot of laughs and share some wisdom along with fabric and quilting ideas.

I don't know if someone has already mentioned Liz Katsuro's website (http://jellyrollfabrics.com/). She has even written a free jelly roll pattern book. I found her one day on the internet.

I don't know if anyone already suggested this bit I used up a ton of my scraps & strips by making a wreath. Just take one of those wire frame wreath forms that Michaels, JoAnn, Hobby Lobby sells. Cut your strips into 6 or 7 inch pieces. Then tie each piece onto the frame, using about 4 yards to finish each wreath. Just a single tie no need to be fancy 
As the fabric strips fill the frame the wreath gets nice & fluffy & quite pretty. Best of all you feel so good about using up your scraps.
