now, what I want to know is this:
Is this like fun and done...haven't downloaded the video yet...takes a LONG TIME, on dial up...
AND...
are triangulations: a cd that prints your triangles so you can ppr piece them. If that is the case, I will probably get it, when I can! slurp!

Would you ever consider doing a board tute for those of us that are either too lazy to wait on video to download or too busy?

Mousie, dollie ... Triangulations aren't really paper piecing.
They are a pre-planned grid that shows cutting lines, and sewing lines, and by sewing two lines on the grid, you end up with oodles of HST from one sheet of paper, depending on the size.
Now, say I want 3" finished HST .. so I go grab that page, tell the computer to print out 50 sheets (since <g> if one is good ... 50 is waaayyy good!) and ... then, you trim a bit since a grid that will make 8 HST that measure 3" finished (or however many it was) ...
then, you go cut two pieces of fabric that are about 8.5" square ... put right sides together under the paper, then sew on the dotted lines ...easy, peasy, and not really paper piecing, even though there is paper <g>
