Yeah, normally you do. I was just trying to do a trial so I wasn't to concerned about gettingmy repeats perfect.
This was a very large print. I cut into 3" strips, so I have small triangles.
I got 'almost' 3 repeats across the yardage, but it also repeated twice in each row, so I did end up with about 6 repeats. I say 'about' because this weird print did not have perfect repeats and since I had less fabic, I had to make due. But for my purposes of a OBW trial, it was sufficient.
My problem will be that because I have to turn the triangles in each set, the repeat will not line up as normally in a OBW. But I have a few strips I have not cut yet, so I think if I flip half the strips unside down this might counteract my having to turn the triangles. We'll see. I'll post pictures as I get farther into trying to do something with my blunder. Live and Learn. I may come up with something cool or really ugly, we'll see.
