    I have several boxes of 4" squares. These are from various projects. In January of this year I went on a rampage and cut up almost all of my scraps (of which I had lots) into squares, strips, etc. and came up with lots and lots of 4" squares.

    Besides what we've already done, of course, what would you do? I'm open to ideas.

    I'm a big scrappy fan. I would just start putting them together randomly. Have fun.

    I do plan on doing that after I've exhausted other possibilities. :) Although I may do controlled color scrappy--IOW, two patch--grab one blue and one pink and sew them together and do a blue/pink scrappy, etc.

    But first, since I do still have quite a few of some of them (all one color), I could do designs.

    You could do an irish chain/double or triple irish chain with scraps. Keep the blocks at 4" and just modify the pattern you use. it would look awesome.

    I would use the disappearing nine patch pattern (D9P).
