You are saving fabric by cutting those little triangles and not snowballing, but why not cut your parallelograms from strips. Lay two strips together RST. That way you get rights and lefts. Cut the correct angle (45º)all the way down the strip. You would measure from one line to the next to get the correct width of the parallelograms.

That is how the instructions say, strips right sides together then cut.

I finally found it. All through the beginning, it looks like you are working with short strips, I think they are two by five. Then you cut the triangles off of that. But later when you are working with the actual fabric, it shows you cutting the strip. That's where you forgot the picture. LOL It took me a long time to find that. I'm going to try that zig-zag border with the quilt I am now working on.
