Cutting fabric with repeating motifs:
Use the center line in the ruler to position your ruler on the design in fabric.
Cut one triangle A.
I had a narrow strip of fabric. I was able to cut one A triangle and one B triangle from the starting row. Then, I found the same corresponding starting line several inches up. I turned my fabric sidewides just to cut away the fabric to get to a fresh row that was exactly the same as the first row. I looked very closely at the fabric and would not have been able to simply turn the piece around, as I had done before. I know the camera doesn't catch all of this and I hope it makes sense. Some of the very subtle markings between the stripes alternated colors. That is why I had to look for the repeating pattern a few rows up.
From the second fabric, you will need 4 A triangles, 2 B triangles; and 2 B (reversed) triangles
From a background fabric,

Lay out all 28 cut pieces as shown:
