Hi Legion & Welcome to a great site.
I have pieced a quilt together using all kinds of scraps & it's in El's book "Scrap quilt". Also look in the photo section and there are pictures of Scrappy quilts.
I'm sure someone else with more experience than me will give you some ideas too.

Any fabric scraps can be made into a quilt so you have a good start. I'll have to see a picuture of what you have before giving you any advice about if you have a pattern started. You can post a picture in your post, there is a how to on the Photo page.

I believe the Still Stripping Book uses 2 1/2" strips. You would need to trim 1/4" off the 2 3/4" strips.
