I just recently bought a set of dies for this purpose but I haven't had a chance to do it yet!
I bought a set of blocks and rectangles that will fit together. The ones I got finish at 1.5x3, 3x3, 3x6 and 6x6. With those, I think I'll be able to get maximum usage out of my scraps, and all those pieces can be assembled fairly easily into randomly pieced 12x12 blocks. I also have a die from another project that cuts blocks that finish at 4", those could get mixed in too. (I love scrappy/random quilts)
All the little strips and bits between the cuts will either go into crazy quilts or the dog bed bag.
