I've been thinking about making a 'proper' quilt for ages and, since I don't need any more clothes, now seems like the right time to dive in. I made a cot quilt a few years ago but used a panel so I've no experience with piecing, making blocks etc.
Plus I specifically want to use up a bunch of my blue-toned fq's, remnants and scraps. So a relatively easy scrap quilt that looks good, maybe a double size since I think that would be the most useful, not sure. These are the 'scraps':

My quilting friend has suggested this - she can supply the pattern - but to me it looks a bit ambitious for a first go and I'm not sure how it would suit my scraps:

I was looking at something more like
this which looks more straightforward - or is it?

I've looked at a lot of YT videos for scrap quilts, easy quilts etc but don't seem to have found what I want - too complicated, too basic, too small etc. I wondered about just starting with constructing some 9 patches from 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 inch squares and then seeing how they'll look when laid out. Or should I follow a pattern?
Any thoughts, advice and design suggestions would be more than welcome!
