I do believe the setting triangles will be red as planned. And I know I can cut them without having to leave the house. Red? Oh yeah, I got that. I've got to go digging to find some definitive size calculations for those triangles though - the challenges I've had with simple addition on this quilt don't bode well for something as nit-picky as Pythagorean math. Maybe I'll cut them way big, then consider anything I have to cut off as a contribution to Forever.
Having them laid out on the floor, I continue to be whacked by the puffer-fish look of the blocks when they're oriented east-west, so I'm going to go with the north-south layout despite the screaming image in my head. And then maybe I'll have to take it apart at the end and fix it. I think it'll be okay, though.
ETA - you know, when I see it in my head, the red points west. With the quilt lying on the floor, I don't see the fish so much when I walk to that side as I do when I look at if from this side. So I've just gone and switched it, and I like it better. (And the screaming has stopped.) :o)

They DO look puffery. At first glance it almost looks like crochet.
Crud. Now I'm seeing fish!
cool!! 50 blocks!! yep, there are the fishies...
yipee...I don't see fish at all! I do see lovely red and white triangles. Myself, I would stitch the rows tog and THEN cut the setting tri's because my math is awful. I have solved that many times by top stitching a fabric on vs. setting it in.
