I've been using strips 2.5 X 4 or whatever I'm handed, putting them in long strips for a row, and then sewing the rows together. I put a 2.5 square at the end and alternate when sewing the rows. That way there is no matching seams. I think it is a brick pattern. The other thing I do is just start sewing pieces together and then cutting those into 6.5" squares. A real scrap quilt with no pattern.

Helena.....I like the very scrappy quilt for charity because with the group I work with we get a lot of donations, but seldom enough to make a whole coordinated quilt. We do get a lot of smaller or irregular pieces. This type of block works so well. We do save most of our larger pieces for backings or sashings......

This quilt is amazing! Thanks for sharing it! I often have strips left from binding and other projects, and it will practically sew itself as starters and enders using the Bonnie Hunter method. I love everything about it.
