I love using my Accuquilt dies for blocks -- it's so fast to cut out and then the pieces go together so well. Have you thought of making bow tie blocks with your light blues. Then think about using navy for the background fabric... just something to think about....

Maybe an improv mini quilt (like one from Kelly's book?) - of course, you probably need to make a bigger quilt with those scraps though.
