you make a scrappy quilt! I finished a string quilt yesterday............totally awesome, all from scraps which were mostly strings and "thinks" that made it interesting here and there, like a few leftover triangles sewn together to make a string. Lots of the fabric was given to me by quilting friends and family, some of it was mine too. I am ready to do another and don't mind it a bit when I get all those little gifts from my friends. Try one, just sew them all into strips and go for it. I need to investigate a couple of comments from others posting to you on methods they may have used.
