Here's a scrappy from way back when! 
Have always admired the effect it gives.
Yet when you look closely, it's so simple.
Just HSTs made into pinwheels and 4Ps into blocks of 16.

@magicmoonmusings Great possibilities and inspiration!!
At this link .... Various string quilts ....
..... I particularly liked the one with the B+W sashings and 9P cornerstones.
It does a great job of framing up each of the crumb blocks ... and makes me want to look at each one, as though they are little abstract paintings!

I like the free patterns of the QuiltedTwins.com for various scarps. Also am doing two digital printed tops and creating blocks around them to make them into larger quilts...98x 108. Loved the triple Irish quilts and have enough fabric for three of them. Also doing another one with 5 inch blocks, in shades of pink with borders of white. Enough to keep me busy for serval months. Like what you all have shown in this thread.

I recently made this St Louis 16 patch that was fun and quick and used a lot of my 2 1/2” strips. You only need 1 light strip and 1 dark strip that is 22” long. I found it easier to sew and iron the strips if I cut them into two pieces 11” long. I did mine similar to the one found on The Last Homely House YouTube site.

I love to make Sew Many Strips pattern when I have a pile of small scraps. You use tons of 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch strips and some 1 1/2 by 4 1/2 in strips for the borders. It uses a ton of those little pieces. The patterns lends itself to using anything and everything so nothing is wasted/
