I have been in a block exchange over the past year, and have only 1 block left to acquire. So now I need to think about how I am going to put this together. The problem is, 1 block is 18 inches square. I have been putting them up on my wall, to see how they are going to look together, which I am not really pleased with. So, I tried putting them up on point and don't ask me why, but I like that visual. But the problem is that the triangles that would be at the edges are VERY big, and I am wondering how to inset a smaller block in that triangle. I hope you understand what I am asking. Any help that anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Could you make a square that would fit inside the triangle? Two of the square's sides would be the triangles sides. [ATTACH=CONFIG]463668[/ATTACH]

I like Tesspug's idea.
You might play with different ways of piecing fabric to fill the spots.

Thanks for the visual, that gives me something to work with, and I think I can make it work. I will do one in scrappy before cutting into the "good" fabric. I knew I could depend on someone out there to help me out. Thanks again.

Here's another graphic to help.
Make the triangles from squares large enough to allow their connecting edges to overlap, as shown on the graph with dashed lines.
