I experemented with triangle sizes on the printer this morning -- 9" was too pointy but I like the 8 1/2" look. It is surprising how a quarter inch really makes a diffference. I just did my math -- If I use 8" triangles and 1" sashing the quilt will be around 110"

I spread the printed pages on the floor and went away and then walked past them -- the 8" looks a better ratio to my eyes. Now I will have to make a plexiglass template because it isn't a usual angle. I don't have my tools and supplies here so I will wait to get back to ME before I do any triangles. -- or better yet, make the triangles but not trim them 'til then. I have a lot of squares done -- in the schedule as well as others so I will have my colors scattered all over. I am using scraps, FQs and odds and ends of blues. Next week after the show here in Olympia, I will take pix.
