.....HSTs....with me!?
I have found another block I can make with a charm square and I confess a little bit of trimming!
Cut a 2.5" strip from the charm square and pair with the background strip - in my case some white! Make into four HSTs. 2 HSTs paired with a white and a print 2.25" square make a tulip style block! I got two out of each charm. These little sub-units are 3" square unfinished....
Make four in different prints - I've chosen purple,yellow, green, blue and pink for a bit of a Spring feeling.
Add a bit of sashing in white with a central square and you get a block called butterfly at the crossroads among other names! And a quilt like this!
Not sure if I'll follow this layout but I'm definitely loving the spring colours!

I think that those HSTs would drive me made but I do like your plan. Di x
