New Scrap Quilt idea

 Lots and lots of scrappy 5" squares plus lots and lots of 2 1/2" shirting squares
 Stitch across the corner and save these triangles for "something" later - maybe a baby quilt or a border
 another square on the opposite side - save the cut offs
 press them open
 Now the fun part - how to set them?  This was my first thought - look a bit like a squashed star if you squeeze your eyes.


 this I do like - but this lattice thing has bee done quite a bit.  May be because it looks good.


what about zig zags?  They could go across the quilt or up and down.  Maybe zig zag up and down with a small sashing?  hmm?  now that is a nice idea.   What do you think??

All the blocks are made, I just have to decide how to put them together.
