Have fun making them, I would love to see what you make.

I wish I would have saw this before I tried :) but that is what I ended up doing ~ thanks so much for the picture! I think I will print it out and hang it up. The pointed side towards me always throws me off, I kept trying to put the flat side towards me.
Here is what I would do, sew two sets of three triangles together, and two sets of five triangles. Then put them together using vert. seams. like this....after puting the triangles together sew them to each other along the red lines.
