Hi, Geri - The quilt as assembled in long, diagonal rows. The two sides of the right triangles fit into the ends of each row. The bottom sat against the 4-patch next to it, and the side was against the last block in the next row. It wouldn't have fit the other way, as the bias side was one size and the two other sides were another. One by One's suggestion of the interfacing on a roll would stabilize them, but I'd also bet there's another way to cut them. Hope this makes sense. They were isosceles triangles.
hugs,
