I expected that I might meet Miss Froggy there but she brought along Mr.s Wrong Side Up, Can't Reverse Thinking, You Cut It Too Small, and Not Enough Fabric! What unwelcome intruders. You'll see what I had to do when I post the pictures. I wasn't about to do the flying geese again. I thought I had them vanquished for the day when the Boy's Best Friend went together like a breeze but they were just hiding in my Civil War Quilt! They just wouldn't go away so I finally quit for the day but Miss Froggy is waiting this morning before I can do anything else. What a way to start the day.
I'm laughing here; glad you have a great sense of humor!

Yeah, I'm doing something right, Honchey. I cut strips like you suggest and then used my Easy Angle and Companion Angle rulers to cut the triangles depending on where I wanted the grain line to be. Thanks for the color tip, H and QE.
