I am trying to make this table runner, I don't have a pattern I have just watched a video on you tube.
are the end triangle suppose to match, I have tried everything I can think of to match them and they still don't match. The lines match but not the flower parts.
Is this right or am I doing something wrong..Maybe I should just break down and buy the pattern ...Please excuse my messy ironing board ....Thanks

I do agree with the others about matching lines as that seems to catch our eyes first.

I agree with the other comments … as long as your design lines up the rest doesn't matter … the outside edge will be covered with binding so it will be "perfect" when quilted and bound. Great fabric choice and beautiful runner!

Whether or not your flowers match depends on the repeat of the particular fabric. You can fussy cut your triangles like you do on a kaleidoscope/stack and whack method and you might get a more palatable match however again it will depend on your fabric repeat. To get the same part of the same flower on both sides of your triangle just doesn't happen hardly ever.
