This appeared on the Quilts, Etc. blog. The photo is of a section of a scrap quilt on display at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. I included the comments below from the article about it.
Here is the full view so you can get the perspective.
Check out The Quilt Index for all the details of this quilt but in summary it is 80" square and contains about 37,000 pieces. It was hand pieced and quilted by Bessie Sanford of Michigan and probably made in 1939-40. These types of quilts were popular in the late 1800's.
Just a suggestion--if you think this is a good use of your scraps and time, start with a coaster and work up from there.
