Input wanted-Quilt pattern ideas for 2 1/2 inch strips.Finished quilt 24 inches or so
I am making a small 24 inch quilt but have all 2 1/2 inch Bali pop strips to make it.
It seems most patterns for 2 1/2 inch strips are for a larger scale quilt.
I would like these quilt blocks to be more to the scale of a small 24 inch quilt.
I think 4-6 inch blocks would be more to scale but every time I find a block I can not figure out how to make it with 2 1/2 inch strips.
It would also be nice to have something that doesn't look like one big block or very strippy and obviously made of strips.
Tall order?

Here's a tutorial on how to make HST from jelly roll strips. http://www.carolesquiltingetc.com/20...triangles.html

Thank you all for the feed back and link for the 1/2 square triangles. Indeed a lot to be done with them and it will be to scale. I like the idea of a lone star too. I will sit down tonight and look into both. I do have the Quilt in the Day ruler they show. At least I think I do.
