I like the idea of pinwheels using your neutrals, or you can put 2 or more HSTs on 1,2 or 4 sides of a larger square. Either make more now or save them for another time when you can.

I've been saving a bag of 'corner trimmings' for awhile. I have enough now to make a 'wonky star' quilt that will be gifted. Most of my quilts are donations to various organizations, so when I can get a 'bonus' quilt from my projects and scraps it's awesome! I just cut out 253 3-1/2 inch squares to use as the neutrals for these blocks.

Here's a tutorial:

Since you have neutrals, I think I would reverse it. You could use various bright solids for your backgrounds with neutrals for the star points.

Thanks for the link! I was just thinking about what to do with all the left over triangles I've collected from making bindings! Love this block!

Pineapple blocks...see how many you have when you're done. Use the blocks for a pillow cover, runner, mug rug, etc.
