What I had originally called braided rows (or zig-zags) looked more like fish scales when lined up next to each other without shashing. So I decided to pair triangles by the color of their long edge. Many matched color as well as the width of that particular fabric. I like how it looks.
Once I paired up triangles, the layout came together fairly quickly. I've started sewing it together and may have a completed top early in the week. These are thick blocks. I figured the seams were going to need pressing in different directions based on the placement, so I thought it would be faster and easier to press them all open. Ugh. I forgot how much I dislike pressing open quarter inch seams.
Looking pretty good so far!
