Answer 2

The easiest quilt patterns have pieces that are squares or strips. Triangles require a bit more effort because the diagonal edge is prone to stretching. You can get around this by sewing first, then cutting (more explanation later).

You can use a combination of scraps and a single color (white, for example) to create your quilt. A nine patch block (like a tic tac toe board) is one of the easiest blocks. See the first link for really good instructions (check out the photo shoot of the process on the second page). Make two different blocks - one with white in the four corners and in the center and scraps in the other four squares, and one that is just the reverse. When you put them next to one another, all of the squares will alternate white - scrap - white, etc. This will allow you to use your scraps, but the white will tie everything together. You can make a Single Irish Chain quilt by using a solid white square in place of the blocks that have white in the corners and center (second link).

If you want to use ONLY scraps, divide them by value. Value is light vs. dark, regardless of color. A dark yellow fabric may have a darker value than a light blue, for example. If you can find a piece of clear red plastic, lay that over the fabrics to neutralize the color and make the value easier to identify. Cut the fabrics into whatever size squares you wish (probably not less than 3", to keep it easy), and put the light ones in one bag and the dark ones in another bag. Pull the fabrics from the bag to keep it truly random. Use the lights where you would have used the white, and the darks where the scraps were used.

If you want to use triangles, but don't want to deal with the stretchy bias, cut two larger squares (say, four inches), one in a light (or white) fabric, and one in a darker fabric. On the back of the lighter fabric, draw a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite corner. Now draw a line 1/4 inch on each side of the first line. Put your fabrics right sides together, lining them up carefully. Sew along the two outside lines, then cut along the center line. When you open the pieces, you'll have two squares made of two triangles. Trim the squares to an even size (say, 3 1/2 inches), then sew them together so the lights are next to darks. Depending on how you put them together, the block may be called Broken Dishes or Pinwheel.

There are several links below with examples of simple scrap quiltes similar to what I've described.

Answer 3

cut any scraps down to a one and a quarter square.. the quarter being your seem allowance then pick any pattern you want that involves squares.. or take a backing and use smaller scraps to make a crazy quilt.

Answer 4

Make squares or equal triangles out of them, whatever size you can if you just have scraps. Then just put them together.. Be creative... just be sure you measure right unless you're making a crazy quilt.

Answer 5

cut a lot of different squares and put one color in center them
go around with another color and on and on till you get it as big as you want.a lot of pretty squares.
