How about this? This uses 2 inch half square triangles...just the size you get when making those afore mentioned stars. This is a free pattern, from Quiltville!!! Please see
HERE!!!!
And while you are there, Bonnie has so graciously posted many, many free quilt patterns. Please see her blog...and if you are a scrappy quilter, Bonnie has written many, many books, using all those pretty scraps you just can't get rid of!!
What other ideas do you have for a 1/2 square triangle quilt??

I usually make pinwheels, but I love Bonnie's pattern.
Love how you did the blocks with your scraps, you have a lot more patience than I do.

Patience, yes, and endurance, AND it will be beautiful! It is an amazing pattern! I have one like Bonnie's that my mother made in the 1940's, and scraps from my little robe with kittens fabric are in it. I love it! ---"Love"
I put together an Ocean Waves many years ago. It didn't lay flat when I got the top done. I did not keep it. I do love the design though. I was not using Bonnie's pattern.
That Ocean waves is a gorgeous piece, isn't it? But it must take the patience of a Saint to get through it..hugs, Julierose
I wonder how many of your readers know what a hootenanny is!
I have 3 collections of HST's leftover from other blocks. More ironing and I'll start figuring out what to do with them. The Ocean Waves would be wonderful. I love Bonnie's inspiration and she has a free shipping deal going on this weekend for any newbees that don't already have her books :-)
Temecula Quilt Co is going to have a summer sewalong w hsts, a repro of a really intersteing CW patriotic crib quilt w flags. https://temeculaquiltco.blogspot.com/2019/05/summer-night-square-up-sew-along.html

I too been collecting triangles and HSTs for "future" project and Ocean Wave is on my to-do list. It is an excellent pattern to burn up a tub or two of HSTs. What colour the centres?
Another one I love is Hovering Hawk, see it here
