Awesome! Looks like you've got it down beautifully! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

Sew darling! Great start & lovely fabric choices too. Just watched a Fons & Porter I had DVRed a while back & they showed how to use strips to cut your triangles with the long side on the straight of grain. Neat technique. You might check out their website & search that tutorial.Another suggestion was to cut off those "dog ear triangles" that stick out. Helps you line up the pieces much better for joining. Hope this helps. (I had used your method before, two squares, but will try the F&P method on my next project.)

I had just finished my 1st quilt with triangles (cut triangles then sewed together lots of trimming). Then turned on a quilt show & found the way to make 2 at once. Do you know that one? Cut 2 squares, put right sides together, draw a line from corner to corner, then stitch 1/4 inch on each side of drawn line, then cut down drawn line. 2 complete triangles. You can chain stitch this goes real fast. Hope you can understand my instructions. Great job so far.

Have you tried the 7/8 inch trick? Cut 2 squares plus 7/8 of an inch, mark them diagonally (one way), sew 1/4 inch from the line, cut in half and you have 2 hst without any bias seams. Try it.

You have indeed conquered triangles! That is a pretty happy looking basket. Good for you!
