CarrieM: the green is all 60 degree triangles...the flamingos are the repeating pattern cut into lengths of the repeating, the 14-18 inches, carefully stacked on top of one another in line with the design 8 times, then cut into 6 inch strips, I think, and cut at 45 degree angle up to middle of the fabric or where the fold is....usually about 22 inches in each section of the 'stacked' pieces...making the full cut for eight 'petals' that completes each circle....and the 60 degree triangle fits around them...like the green background in the photo above.
