I have that book (Quick and Easy Scrap Quilts) and its well worth the money- even if you just like one quilt, but there are many to love. I have another book that I purchased but have not made the quilt yet... but I am scanning the cover to give you ideas. There is not a lot in this book but you can apply this string technique to many applique or pieced blocks, like Turkey Tracks or Rocky Road to Kansas, etc.[ATTACH=CONFIG]555238[/ATTACH]

Bonnie Hunter uses strips in her scrap quilts. check out her free patterns http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html

Put a color and a neutral together and cut HST. Sew as you cut.
Make 4 Patches, or sew 3 strips together to make 9 patch blocks. Again, a color w/neutrals.

I do mostly scrap quilts as I like them best of all.

I started an Arkansas Crossroads scrappy quilt as a leaders/Enders project. It is made up with 2 1/2 inch blocks along with 4 1/2 inch background squares and the blocks finish at 16 inches. I just completed 27 of my 30 blocks. You can google Arkansas Crossroads...
