I'd go with 2.5 inch strips and the 5 inch squares like the others have suggested.

Now what to do with scraps that don't fit those categories, that's my problem now.....

That is what I use. All of the smaller pieces go to my sister.

ah the ones that wont fit may just get all sewn together and then cut back up into 12.5 inch blocks..... (or bagged and given away....)

For the "extra" fabrics - I like to cut them into 2 1/2 or 2 inch strips. Anything odd I throw in a string bin. Then any of the patterns that I see for jellyrolls - I can use my 2 1/2 inch strips, or if I am feeling scrappy I can grab my string bin and make string blocks.

Good luck!

5" squares and 2 1/2" strips.

seems like 5 and 2.5 are the winners....
