This is a great quilt to knock out all those odd shaped squares and strips!

Also, if you're thinking that you'd like to make a scrap quilt at some point, it might be helpful to just sort them into lights and darks. Many scrap quilts rely on value, rather than color, for their design- this will also make storage easier!

I recomend picking out a pattern that you like first then cut that size square or strip. And the Quiltville.com site is a wealth of information. Lastly, don't worry about not having enough scraps, they do multiply when you aren't looking. Plus if your friends find out that you save scraps you will be kept well supplied!

If you want you can look thru the scrappy patterns at www.quiltville.com and see if there are any you'd like to start saving and cutting scraps for now.
