Naiscoot, are your strips 2.5 inches? If they are, then for your ending triangles, cut 8 squares that are 7 inches, then cut the squares in half on the diagonal, making 16 triangles.
Then lay a triangle so that the point lays on a seam line between the 3rd and 2nd (from the end) accent squares. Pin carefully, since it is a bias. Sew with the triangle on the bottom. Here is a photo, showing the tip of the triangle lined up with the seam--my fingers are pointing toward the seam. You will have about 3/4 of an inch of the triangle hanging off the middle of the last strip, and about 1-2 inches shorter than the outer edge.
This part I got. Now I gotta see if I can trim it without ruining it! :shock:
P.S. Your red braid is beautiful!!
