I was going to suggest the same thing. HST the possibilities are endless and interesting.

How about making 1/2 sq triangle blocks, then trim them to be square after you seperate the two pieces... gosh I hope you understand what I just said.... LOL

You could try a charm quilt or even trim them to 3 1/2 and do as you choose, do patchwork quilts, all different. Have fun with it!

You can do a Trip Around the World, a 9 Patch. also think of a 4 patch,and then how about an Irish Chain. One of my favorites is called Highway to Heaven... The idea can be endless.
