Dede, I did notice the dark to light configuration. Yes on point and bias can be tricky, but sometimes putting on point makes a block look more complicated than it actually is!
I declared 2018 the year of the triangle last winter...now making some HST units with waste triangles. I have a large pile of light colored ones all the same fabric which were given to me...should be interesting to see how these turn out...so I'm creating another quilt instead of UFO...but I do have a plan.
Have a safe 4th!
