Pondering Someone Else's Scraps

 I really enjoy sewing with scraps. It makes no difference if they are mine or someone else's. 
When I saw Alycia was giving away some 30s scraps I entered my name in the drawing and my name was pulled.  Lucky me! Said scraps recently arrived and I decided I should dig into them right away instead of put them on a shelf somewhere. 
 Most of the scraps look like that piece on the left.  If there is 2.5 inch in width I have been trimming them to 2.5 inches like the pieces on the right. 
Then I've been sewing them into 9 Patches. 

The remaining piece of the scraps are almost all the same size of wedge so I'm thinking I may use those and maybe that yellow solid to make some Half Rectangle Triangles (HRTs).  Or maybe not.  Not sure where it's all headed yet.  This is another one of those projects I work on for 15-20 minutes or so a day. I just can't seem to concentrate on one quilt at a time.
