Which is cute and looks like a wonky log cabin. It needed something.
Turns out what it needed was a 60-degree triangle cut.
Add a little sashing:
And voila! We have the makings of a scrappy quilt top.

Crumb Blocks!
Working on these paper piecing stars is accelerating the collection in my scrap bin to overflowing. The current star is Alaska and I have three sections put together. This block takes 104 pieces total.
I decided to do something about my overflowing scrap box and started working on crumb blocks. Any pieces I can't get cut into a X.5-inch increment square are candidates for the crumb blocks. Basically, you just stitch the pieces of fabric together any old way and you make usable blocks out of scraps.
