Thanks for the advice everyone. Candi, I think that article will help a lot when I start the triangles. I love the lime greens you guys picked. I ended up going in a different direction because when. Looked at the color card, I didn't like that particular shade, so I went with orange instead. I'm nervous about my choice now. I just finished all the sewing and cutting that I hadn't done so I can start assembling the blocks and the triangles. I think I will start with step 8 and go back to the triangles in 7 so I can gain some confidence . I just finished sewing my flying geese to the bw rectangles and to the turquoise flying geese. I was very nervous because I had asked for trimming help and although my flying geese were the prescribed size I didn't realize that I would need a good 1/4 inch at the top to maintain the point...yikes! But I'm pretty sure I didn't lose the point on any of them! I'll post a pic as soon as I get a block sewn. I still have a little bit of pressing to do.
