When I saw this on the QB FB I thought there is an original idea for using "crumbs". I love scrappy quilts but crumb quilts never appealed to me. This not quite a crumb one is fabulous. I may have to borrow your idea for my own version if that is okay. I love this quilt.

That seemed to be a good compromise between cutting several pieces at once and not having fabric that was too unwieldy.
