Scrap Block Equivalents Chart

​I promised you a chart for using all those scrap strips, and here it is (finally)!  Click the link below this post to download the PDF.  

The chart has a grid showing how you can combine scrap sizes.  For instance, if you make 4-patch blocks from your 2-inch squares, or make 9-patch blocks from your 1 1/2-inch squares, you can easily combine them with your 3 1/2-inch squares to make bigger blocks.  (And believe me, you DO want to make bigger blocks.  As much as I like working with all those tiny bits, even I don't want to make a whole quilt from 3/4-inch strips...unless it's for a dollhouse.)  

There are so many possibilities!  And that's just talking about SQUARES.  If you cut your scraps into strips, like I do, the possible combinations multiply.  I have a gorgeous quilt in the works that started with 4-inch pinapple blocks made from 1-inch and 1 1/2-inch strips.
