I clicked on the link and found a pattern I liked for $17.00. I love to reward people who put in so much time and effort into a design. But it is over 70 pages. So I checked my ink levels, sure didn't want to run out while printing this entire book, stuffed in plenty ?? of paper and hit print. About 20 minutes later it is still printing. Who knew my printer would print on both sides!! It's finished. Yea....used blue and black but I didn't run out.

Did you try cutting two pieces of fabric, one white and one gray (or your colors), sewing them together face to face with 1/4" seam allowance on each side, then cut them out, alternating your triangle pattern. This will give you a lot of
sewn half square triangles, and yes, they are already sewn together for you. Just a suggestion.

If you use Terial spray on your fabric before cutting bias edges will not stretch. I cut a lot of shapes from scraps and sometimes I have to place the ruler at funny angles to get the whole shape to use the scrap piece.
