Fabric.com just took 3 weeks to mail me the 1st part of my order...not happy. They said the SAME thing to me, and that was after I ordered it at one price 1.99 and it went up to 6.98.
Good going on your triangles! STARCH STARCH STARCH I'd recommend.

You are doing great! Your quilt will be beautiful. I personally never had any problems with triangles, even as a beginner quilter, and I am sure that your experience will be just fine, because you are not letting doubts to take top priority.
Reminds me of a brand new quilter in a class I once took. She had shown us some inset seams she had done on her own before class, reading some instructions in a complicated pattern. Everyone was impressed, exclaiming how they still haven't mastered inset seams after many years or they are terrified of doing them. The new quilter said simply, "I had no idea I was supposed to be afraid! Now I never will be."

Make sure you carefully starch them (better yet, Best Press is very good) and iron slowly. I use spray starch on them except if you already starched the fabric before you cut. Beautiful fabric and you go girl with the cancellation of the fabric.

I just got that same fabric from Joanns. I am going to make a "space" quilt for my nephew. I thought the fabric was awesome too.
Not familiar w/ "one block wonder" but those look like 60' triangles are you doing something kalideoscope w/ them?

That is a good idea, I've read about that on here before but forgot about when I was doing a OBW. Hope it stick in my brain this time.
