You could try a flag wall hanging by sewing all the white triangles into squares, red the same, and make stripes from those squares. Use the blue for the starry area and applique stars on them. If the whites are all the same, etc for red, it probably won't work.

I made a quilt using rectangles and a 4 patch in strips turned out pretty and used up alot of scraps.

I would just lay the pieces out in various arrangements and see what happens.

QuiltingGrannie, the Pinwheel Panache would be a great pattern. Willyard, we want to see what you do with those. Looks like at least enough fabric for a wall hanging. Great find.

Or use the rectangles to frame the 1/2 square after they are sewn together ?

That's what I was thinking.

If you check out this Missouri Star Quilt Co. video there is a tutorial using triangles and rectangles from "turnover packs" and strips.
