Looking for a quilt pattern to use a lot of different shade of solid white
I'm doing a major clean out of my scraps and I have a Ton of solid white leftover.
I use a lot of white in my quilts, but it's sometimes snow, sometimes bone, sometimes pdf white... so my scraps are various shade of white.
I know what to do with low volume fabric scraps, I know what to do with grey leftovers, but I have no idea of how to use several shade of solid white in a quilt.
I'm a very "controlled scrappy" girl; I don't like to have my quilts look scrappy, in fact so I usually work with a very limited and specific color scheme.
I would love to see your quilts made with different solid white scraps. My main goal for 2019 is to put a real dent in my extra large bin of white leftovers!

What about Converging Corners? Here is an example of a gorgeous scrappy-background one.

Ladies, thank you so much for your suggestions. I think a log cabin kind of quilt is the way to go to use those white scraps and make them look good. The Converging corner doesn't convince me (I love some symmetry in a quilt). But while looking for ideas, I've seen a Beads Log cabin (the colored section create a round shape). Now, that's my type of quilt!!! Any idea where to find a pattern for this (and will it require 100 hours of cutting?)
-Loisf, I know what you mean. I've done a three time a quilt that ended up with one single tiny piece of a slightly different white. It was not visible in my studio but it was on daylight! Each time, I was very upset, but each time, my customer didn't even come close to notice it.
