Yes mic-pa, would love to see a picture of your quilt.

i just a pinwheel baby quilt in all blues..last year..all different..

this one pictured, is not mine, but one i saved for inspiration..i like the way it is laid out..different than ther regular pinwheels..

Just add some squares the same size and the possibilities are unlimited. Many star blocks are made this way.
You can put two togather to look like flying geese.

since my left over hst's are probably different sizes i was thinking of putting background strips around them to make them all fit and they would look as if they were floating. i could even tilt some.

Nativetexan, I think that would be a good idea...may try it. Thanks.

thanks for the links

This is just too funny!! I was actually going through quilting books last night looking for different blocks for the same reason. I found a scrappy charm quilt in 101 Fabulous Rotary-Cut Quilts that looks promising. Also, Crown of Thorns, Delectable Mountains and Friendship Star. Went through Carrie Hall Blocks and the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns also. All my HST are 1.5", so I need something not too outrageously difficult. I'm just not used to piecing this small!! Rhonda, Rhonda, where are you!!!

Ranger--you've got lots of ideas here! I like the Friendship star too, but a shoo fly block or hole in the barn door works as well. Then there's all the different basket blocks and the "tree of ..." blocks. Several HST's would make a great doll quilt as well.
I just posted a "random triangles..." post last week. Good luck.

I looked at your random triangles...lovely...that's a good one for HSTs. I've got some of them used in a couple of baby quilts..still have a lot more.

You gals are wonderful........... here I thought I was the only carzy person who saved all those dif size HST's....... Oh - yes and what to do with them. I must have at least 300 or more... :lol:
