So sorry about the confusion on the triangles you gals are working with this week. Never thought to measure the base. But 7-1/4" sounds right.
Lynnie, thank you for your kind words! I try to make it easy and not scary. Lots of the gals say they never wanted to make things like sawtooth stars because they never could get them to size but my little sneaky oversized widths made perfect stars. I try to give my little cheat hints when I can. I am not a perfect quilter so have to adjust on occasion!
cat on a mac - just do the best you can. No quilt police here!
Lovetosew - more for the orphan block box -- one of these days I am going to dig into mine and make something with that mish-mash of sizes and undersized Boomerang blocks!
dotty - your quilt, your method. Yours sounds like a good idea. Remember what I told cat on a mac!
Oh, barri, come on board. Not too late to start. I'm sure all of us have multiple projects going, it keeps us sane! I know I like to do different things, sometimes it gets boring doing the same project for days at a time
