I also save my HST. Now use them in scrappy 6" finished blocks. I use a setting like a sampler to "bring it together". If your HST is not big enough for the size u need try sewing two together of the same fabric to make a bigger triangle. I have made 3 scrappy quilts with them. One was a medallion style that I posted in Elizabrat's Medallion style quilt-along.

The Depression Block I found on Quilters Cache makes a great scrappy. Every square in it is a hst. If you have hst's with dark and light fabrics they will work wonderfully. Here's a pic of some I made recently. It takes (16) 3 1/2 inch unfinished squares to make a 12 inch unfinished block.

Your quilt is beautiful and just the right use for a collection of half square t's. Thanks for sharing!

Edyta Sitar's Friendship Triangles is almost all HST patterns all pretty much scrappy! Many to love!

Quilter's Cache has a 12" block called Floating Stars. I made a humongous quilt out of the 1/2 square triangles. Check it out. It is very easy, no sashing, just rows and rows and rows attached to a 4-1/2x2-1/2" rectangle. Looks like an optical illusion. Edie

I just noticed the Depression block, also from Quilter's Cache. That also is a fun one to make. Good luck. I love half square triangles.

Check out Missouri Star Quilt Company tutorials. They have great ideas on using HSTs. I love all of their ideas and quilts. This is a fabulous site for patterns using precuts!
