For Christmas I got a Wondercut Triangle Ruler and Tumbling Blocks pattern (my Santa listens well!). I'm not sure I understand the pattern correctly, but one-way-or-another the quilt is progressing. I'd like to make it bigger by adding on another strip or two. The pattern says to start and end with the same color strip. I don't have enough material to make the 3 more strips necessary to get back to my starting color. So what do you think? How important is it to start and end with the same color??? Thanks for your help! I really enjoy reading all the helpful hints found here - I've learned so much!
