Lacelady, yes I meant that I shall try to use the same colour as my sashing, a bit like the one that is on the board at the moment, but a) it means taking my blocks to the shop to lay them on loads of trial colours and b) even worse having to buy fabric. So far I have managed to buy just a few fat quarters, and if I use plain triangles my stash will go further on the blocks. It seems that we are working along the same lines.
