I am already intending to do that, because I want to quilt a pretty design in each triangle, and I think my plain background fabric will do nicely. I have ordered a slightly darker batik fabric for cornerstones and matching binding though. I am still debating with myself about whether to use half inch sashing or three quarter inch, which would bring the size up a couple of inches. I have a king size bed, and 80in isn't all that big, is it?
I hadn't considered this but we're getting a king sized bed and I guess I'd better consider it. Has anyone figured out how many extra triangles will be needed if you make the sashing bigger? Darn it, I really need to go play with the software and figure it out.
