Crabs?
An earlier measuring error came back to bite me. EVERY bottom white point was lost. After a long and bitter (ok short and sweet) conversation with myself I decided that since it happened in every one it looks intentional. Besides there are no quilt police here
Sorry Bonnie.

sammy... those are beautiful. I like the extra color you added. Gives it even more character lol. This is the layout I was thinking would be possible. We will have to wait until tomorrow to be sure though (but I still have a long way to go for this one lol)

I must be losing it. I cut my red string squares to measure 5.5 inches and then cut diagonally. That gives me a 7 7/8" side. When I sew on the two black and neutral triangles, I have a rectangle which measures 7" after removing the dog legs. How in the world can I get a 6 1/2" side? I just noticed there is another cut on the red triangles, but the instructions are only for the Companion Angle. How can I do that cut without the companion angle? And why in the world did we start with a 5.5 inch square if we're going to keep cutting off fabric?

Sammy, love your layout. What a great quilt!
Still hope to catch up more today. I have 95 left to do in step #5, shouldn't take me very long. Then on to six, which I have really been looking forward to since that is the first step that really starts putting thing together.

sammygirlqt: love how all your parts are put together--very pretty--that is the layout I am thinking may be "the one!" I don't have enough done to do that as yet. Still sewing along on my string blocks.

I have both sizes and colors to finish sewing--then I will need to square them up!!!Here's a pic of my red-burgandy-purple strings.I'm about halfway done sewing these.
Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone!

OK...I went back and read ALL the directions... now that my 5.5 inch squares are already cut diagonally, it will be a little difficult, but not impossible to get the 5 1/8" measurement. Thanks for the help. If I ever get all the wing triangles done, then I can attach them to my newly cut red string triangles.

Just finished my RED string blocks
AT last! Have not sliced the squares yet. Now I am on to part 5, the great 700 black triangles.
Picture 1 are my blocks, picture 2 if of this morning's sunrise. Colors seem to coordinate very well.
