When you get your stops cut. Just line up the edge with the same number. So with a three Inch strip. Line it up on the three. And cut. You can either then move the ruler to the other side or do it like I showed in the pictures. Lining up the edge with the corner left from the previous cut.

The range of the size of triangles that you can use is usually pretty big. If you are having a hard time visualizing what will show. You can always cut triangles out of paper and look through the hole left. Remember to take off the 1/4 inch all the way around. So the cut size will be bigger than that.

Im so excited! I cut them at 3 3/4 I realized I could cut the strips 3 1/2 and still get the extra 1/4 at the point of the triangle, so thats why they look like they have holes :roll: I realized after I started stacking them up it was actually going to benifit me in the pieceing, I would have a referance for the center.
cant wait till next monday :-D
Im sure its better for my family and the upkeep of the house for me to HAVE to wait
