I made Cascade Quilts's "Carpenter Star". It is a great tutorial and turns out great. They show a quilt on their site that uses scraps.

I'm confused. I wish I had more light fabs, then i'd do a log cabin or a rail fence. mot of my fabs are all medium values. i'm going to go look at some of the sites you mentioned, thank you

A Log Cabin with mediums vs. darks would look fabulous IMO.

I have 2 that I go back to Old English tile By Klaudeen Hansen and Wonder Blocks by Terry Martin in the wonder blocks your pieces can go as small as one and a half in.

I don't want toworkwith super tiny pcs. i'm also making a crumb quilt.
I kinda want to keep with the strips lengths I have. trying to make this easy and enjoyable. last night took the strips that were less than 2 1/2" and made fabric of them for a third scrap quilt. when i'm done, i'll have a crumb, string and 2 1/2" strip quilt. I hope.

Another idea if you like to do string quilts is a Spiderweb. Every width strip you can find can be used and just pick one great fabric in your favorite color for the background. This is one of the easiest quilts I ever made and was fun as I watched it grow.
