I've never found crazy blocks to be simple or quick! Call it a bed runner and be finished with it.
Blocks like for the colorwash quilt take about 5 minutes to make, and they can be scrappy, doesn't need to be a color wash.
That said, the minute you put your hands in a scrap bucket it swells/fluffs to twice it's size
If they feel like a burden, offer them on, or send them to the landfill, they will compost down in no time, all natural.

I'd add another row so that the quilt is longer than it is wide and call it a day. When I get tired of my scraps, I stuff them into a gallon freezer bag, mark it "100% cotton quilting scraps" and take it to the thrift store that I volunteer for. They never stay on the shelf more than a couple days. Someone always wants them.
