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.

I would alternate them with plain lighter colored blocks...

I agree ... make the nine-patch blocks, then make a Disappearing Nine Patch from them!

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....
