i'm repeating that pattern from a quilt i saw online. it used all hst's and i really liked the layout. there may be a pattern but i do not know what it is.
and surely my hst's triangles are probably a different size than the original quilt pic i saw, but i am using 3.5" & 4" squares so my quilt will reflect that.
the first quilt i got from an online pic. i had been making small hst's (as leaders/enders or breaks) from fabric scraps i cut from blocks and wanted an idea to make a quilt with them.

you could make a quilt with any size square and add a sashing around them I made one with light colors sashing and blue fabrics and it was really cute. there is a free pattern from 'allpeoplequilt.com" I will try and attach, they used dark sashing, and a little wider that I used. But you can get the idea. Very easy , especially if you have several to do.

triangles. then you can pair them with other 6" blocks, etc.
very versatile size. lightly starch each square as you stack
them. the older prints look best in traditional patterns.

Here is a tut from Missouri Star for an easy way to make hst's. Haven't tried it yet but looks super easy.
