It was all from my white stash, some I accumulated from a friend I met in 1996. Before she passed away in 2004 at age 96, she gave me all her stash, as well as her quilting frame. The pieces of white that I ended up using last were large triangles left over from a project I don't remember doing myself.I avoided them in the beginning because of the shape.

I took lots of them apart and tried to use the patterned fabric, since it was the white fabric that was off. Had some success, but wasted a lot of time trying to get it right before giving up and cutting different fabric! Found that it was the lighter weight white fabric that did not hold it's shape. Used a heavier/higher count fabric and there was hardly any trimming to be done.
