I'm not sure if this quilt is going to be 12 blocks of 12 inches each or more so I wanted to be sure to have plenty of each size.  I don't mind generating excess pieces, they often find their way into my other projects.  

To create each triangle piece I followed the steps from our triangle tutorial.  I wanted to make twenty-four 2 inch triangle pieces with each print. In order to do this I cut one 2 7/8 inch strip of each print from selvage to selvage, and then cut each strip into twelve 2 7/8 inch squares.  I also cut nine 2 7/8 inch wide strips of the off white fabric and made these strips into enough 2 7/8 inch squares to pair together with my prints. (Each pair of squares makes two traingle pieces). I also cut fabric to make four 6 inch triangle pieces of each print, and ten 4 inch triangle pieces for each print. Whew! --Joelle
