How about a Take 5 quilt?
Enlarge it to make a queen.

I use all my scraps, I make scrap quilts by cutting larger scraps and cut them into squares or rectangles and the smaller scraps sewn to make larger squares or rectangles. Then just sew them together to make the size I want, from throws to queen size quilts. The best part is that no fabric is wrong, they all look like they belong. This year I made throws for a nursing home, I had so many scraps (I also used up my errant fat quarters).

I start with a rectangle appx 13 x 15 and go from there, just adding to it, using smaller sizes sewn together to match the size. They really go fast too.

Yes Braided quilts are fabulous. I have made 4 of them 3 twin sized and 1 king size.
I had a ton of single yards of fabric. Works great

This is a good idea too. I made one using my red and black fabrics. With every block different. Kept that one for myself

After looking at my posts, I had to laugh. I had (have) a ton of scraps (yes) and having been a quilter for many years, also my daughters decided to take it up and folded, so I inherited all their fabric, which most were purchased in 1 to 2 yard pieces, and not all of them I would have chosen. So I have made tons of scrap throws, and quite a few scrap twin to king size quilts.
I start in January making for a nursing home, or children s wing at a hospital, what ever charity I decide for that year.
I hope you decide on a wonderful way to use your yardage, I love scrappy quilts, no two are alike, they are total originals. Remember "in scrappy there's no wrong, every fabric is exactly where it is suppose to be"

Thank you all for your excellent suggestions!

Ditto!! Back in the day, when I first started, I bought only in 2 yd. quantities. Now when I go to find a pattern it seems they take more that 2 yds. Waiting with bated breath.
