Maybe I can help a little bit on the very first fold is where you fold it twice. On the rest of the folds you only fold it omce to make a traingle and then you fold it over the last color and then you do that the rest of the way and I sorta got confused too until I tried it the was I got it done. So remember the very first fold, you fold it to make the triangle and crease and then you unfold that and bring it down again just to the crease and fold it to the edge of the stack and then fold it down to the background fabric. Then do the same on the other side and then you fold it just to make the traingle and then fold it over the last color and do the same for the rest of the folds, alternating sides. It'll work.

Fay, I've printed out your msg. but as I read & reread it it sounds like what I'm doing. OH OH, I just read it again. At what row do you just make the triangle & not all of the folds?

Ok, thanks so very much. Sounds like I have to make another one now to put that into practice. Now what the heck am I going to do with all of these. LOL.
