Edyta Sitar from Laundry Basket Quilts had a pattern using HST and as I recall, they were all on the dark side. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0981804098/...l_6fd8ayr4fl_b
Okay, I found her book and the HST quilt is on the front. Interesting layout.
Also found this one at Connecting Threads.

In either case, the placement is interesting and I think a scrappy would be great in either layout. Just choose the lighter side of each HST when you lay out your pieces.
Hope this helps.

Have you checked the exploding star pattern?You use dark/dark, white /white and dark/white makes a beautiful quilt.

Did a google search and didn't find a pic using similiar blocks. All those quilts have light to dark or white to color
Any suggestions how to tame down these blocks? Maybe I'll just make a dog quilt for Linda's new dog....
