Look closely and you can see the even more bonus triangles at the tips of the red fabrics, from the Pineapple Blossom blocks (Bonnie Hunter pattern).
Set block to block they make pinwheels.
But I love this star effect setting. A great many of these reds were from a 3" strip swap I was in years ago with the Yahoo group I used to be active in, Quiltbuddies.
Some sashing and a border, maybe a triangle shaped section added to both ends, and a tablerunner is born. I'd like to keep this all red and white so a trip through the stash is up next. I love leftovers!

I really like the last picture, the table runner in the making. Great job. I never seem to have enough of any leftover to do anything....maybe I need to mix them all together??
I love the fun you're having with your leftovers. Gotta love red and white!
Ooo..I love these. Those bonus HST are sometimes a challenge with their odd sizes. Yours look great.
Me too! Maybe we are twins separated at birth?!? I'm sewing the same thing!
What a fun runner, just love it!
Broken dishes are great blocks -- just asking to be played with, added to, turned this way and that. You're definitely having fun playing. And the red-and-white is crisp and so "TODAY" with the red-white exhibit in NYC.
Yep- the last picture is floating my boattoo Annie. I love bonus quilts and red and white always looks great!
Were you inspired by the red and white exhibit in NY? I would love to stop and pull out my red and white 9-patches and get to work...well after the quilts are quilted I may still have time left.
Just love the red and white colors. Beautiful blocks and they are from left overs. Great project. Doesn't get much better than that.
Great idea! I really like the star layout. Hmmm, I have a ton of bonus triangles from my Jared Takes a Wife...can I steal your idea?
YES...YES....Red/White.....WAH! I wanna have something Red/White too!!! Isn't it just amazing what you can create with some little ole half square triangles!!!
I love leftovers too! So fun to rearrange little blocks to see what form they can take. Terrific!
You play better than I do, LOL! What pretty blocks you came up with...I am still thinkin' about mine, LOL!!
Nothing beats red and white.
