Before that I have done several crumb and strip type quilts to get rid of fabric. The saying goes "if the fabric is still ugly, cut it smaller"
Because one doesn't worry about "perfect" seams and alignment, one is "liberated" from the constrictions of precise piecing. I think there is a place for both types of piecing in the quilt world.
