You've never made a scrappy quilt????? Heavens! Try the rail fence pattern....super easy and I think they look great scrappy. Don't over-think your fabric placement. Just be sure there is enough contrast between side-by-side fabrics. And if it turns out that you don't like it....I am sure there are dozens of folks on this forum that would be only too happy to take it off your hands. What have you got to loose...only your time.
I personally have all the scraps that I can deal with. I often take them to guild meetings and give them away.
