Sorry, no pix yet. (My cell is on the fritz and my new one is due the 7th or 8th.) I'm so glad you inspired me to keep trying! Thanks. I'm doing a happy dance!
OK, finally I was able to get a pix. Here is what I ended up with. They still need the bead trims. I used 12 squares with quilt batting and used the Dresden Ruler to mark the angles.
