Sorry I'm late to this thread.
Boy, do I have ideas!!
I can help you with the EQ, too. Since you figured out the layout, are you having trouble with the image scale? The rotate fabric? The fussy cut? You shouldn't need to crop your fabrics, just put them into the blocks. Or maybe you need a different layout.
As someone already said, the triangles won't sew back together into the diamond if you have cut them with a pointed tip. To make them fit now, you will have to cut 1/4'' off the bottom of each triangle. You can trust me on this, and/or try it yourself. OOps, I see in your photo that you have no diamonds, so don't worry about that part.
To match the stripes in the future, you must use a blunt tip ruler, like the Creative Grids Equilateral Triangle ruler.
I'm giving away all my work and research here, but it seems that all of you would appreciate and put it to good use. And maybe share something with me?
Wendy's Spinning Stripes (not Spinning Frenzy, though I do need to come up with a good name for it) sent me off on the next track for a larger quilt. I see that I need to get going so that the quilters that are not part of this board can make a quilt, too.
QuiltNan's link to Karen's Design Wall Wednesday is one of my first inspirations. I even called Karen to see if she was going to write a pattern for that, but she hadn't figured out how.
The quilt in this month's Modern Quilt looks great, but the magazine changed her directions so that it won't sew together right (see my comment on the blunt-tip ruler, above)
It's great seeing all the fabrics and variations of my patterns. Thank you for your support.
