    Thanks for all the great input. I'm going to try the cut/sew/cut and see what happens. Believe it will be more enjoyable and much more of an adventure.

    I use an ergonomic cutter and a slotted ruler. I also mix scraps with 5 inch charm packs. I cut a few 5 inch squares mix them with charms cut sew than cut a few more. finding matches in my scraps is challenging

    Do you paperpiece? I've made a couple of quilts using this pattern and will make more! You can use even the smallest scraps, too

    I'm going to do a scrappy quilt using the BOM pattern from www.persimmonquilts.com. If you want a real scrappy I love Bonnie Hunter quilts butthere does seem to be a lot of cutting..

    I have done a quilt with scraps in a mile a minute quilting technique that required little cutting until the very end. Here is a link http://patchworkpie.blogspot.com/200...ute-quilt.html. It was fun and easy and only required that you divide your piles into strips and rough squares. Hope this fits the bill.

    Why not do a paper pieced quilt? You would not have to prepare the scraps - just find a piece big enough to cover each section.
