Thank you. I think that after I’ve done several, I’ll have a pretty good idea what size to cut the strips and then the triangles.
I agree that I don’t want the blocks to be too large. For a king sized quilt, I don’t think 8x8 is too large, do you? You all have much more experience than I do, so if you think that would mean the design would be lost, please let me know!
