I like the first but you won't be able to cut it that big, it would be a smaller cut, the second I don't think it will have very much variation in the blocks, I think it looks to much like itself, the third is more subtle but i think it would end up looking good and you wouldn't have to cut is as small as the first.

Do you think the stripe running through it will cause me distortion? I love the first one, but will save it for another. I thought the same thing with the second, but had enough to maybe get a top. I'll eliminate the second choice. Now it's one and three...?

I don't see the strip being an issue, though I could be wrong, we will be working with an equalateral triangle and with that I think you will be okay with it. It will mean more when you are at the point to put them together.

I love Blue as well, there really isn't many colors that I don't like, there are how ever a few shades here and there that don't impress me,

Cute...I will be in a hotel on Monday in North Carolina. What is the bare necessities that I need to take along on my trip. I know the obvious is fabric, thread, scissors and my brand-spankin new Kaleidoscope Triangle Ruler. I do not want to miss any of this! Can you think of anything else. I will have my laptop with me of course! And the time this will take place.

Thanks for you help and for doing this!

I think you'll need a cutting board and rotary cutter. Plus I think you'll need pins...but that's as much as I know.
