I've always liked the exploding star as a pattern using HST to form a large star over the entire quilt. But I can't recommend a pattern for it because it is very easy to figure it out on graph paper. A member did that and posted it here:
Exploding Star
Several other members found a pattern for it that can be found here, the 5th one pictured on this link
