Red and cream

I'm messing around with some scraps. We'll have to see what comes out of it. I'm making a very large quilt for my sister and new brother-in-law. I should have it finished in time for their 5th anniversary. The top is a pinwheel pattern (red and blue) on a cream background with a red-blue-red border. The back is a yummy chocolate brown. (I may just keep it for myself...) So I have hundreds (maybe more like a thousand) little triangle scraps. I've been sewing them together (cream and red). Each pair makes a small square (I mean less than 2 inches when you figure seams to sew the squares together). Now I just need to figure out how I will put them all together. Maybe I'll just make them a lap quilt with these and keep the big one.
