I'm glad you found a solution to your problem. This is one reason I don't like to "pre-cut" too much before I start sewing. I have been to classes in which I brought pre-cut pieces, and then found out that's not the way I want mine. In one class, I spent my time helping someone else. Those pre-cuts are still in UFO stage. In another class I found the teacher trimming off more than half an inch from the squares. I wanted to make the squares smaller or make my finished blocks larger. Since the stuff was "pre-cut" I chose to make my blocks larger. Turned out beautifully.

You could go with a scrappy look and use all three purple fabrics.

I looked at this at least 3 times before I saw the "point". Those additional strips in the setting triangles are a genius solution.

still working on it. all blks sewn together. now to put in rows so can quilt but side triangles need to go on first.
drew on photo to show how it will look as suggested earlier. zig zag sort of going around the quilt. not too bad of a look.
