I made a 16-patch (scrappy) Then large half square triangles with white and a scrap as points for star blocks. The half square triangles were equal in size to 1/4 of the 16 patch (or same size as a 4-patch).
I never fail to get loads of complements on this one. I like contrast so I used White. Obviously, any "solid-like" would do. Have fun! I love scrap quilts.
