Absolutley love your fabrics and no - I don't think they have a significant difference to which side to use.

There is a right side but sometimes it's very hard to tell. If you look at an area where the dye is a bit blurry, the right side will be more crisp and the wrong side more blurry. The selvage will be smoother on the right side as well. I usually put a chalk mark on the wrong side or make sure to keep them stacked in the same direction all the time. If your triangles are the same angles on each corner it won't matter if you end up flipping some pieces over. If you've studied them and can't tell the difference between one side and the other, no one else will either.

Looks like it will be a great quilt. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!

This is going to be lovely when your finished.
I have this block of sorts with batiks. I absolutely love how they look in a finished piece but I don't enjoy the process working with them. I'm not sure if its because I can't envision the finished project or what it is but it really blocks me from doing alot with them.
Does anyone else have this with certain fabrics? Just curious
