After a week of ripping out, re-sewing, more ripping and sewing, I finally have my 12 rows going as they should. Probably should swap around some of the rows before sewing together. I do have quite a few extra triangles, guess I can't count, so I may add to the width and length with them rather than have them kicking around or made into hotpads! I can't get this picture to turn right...so tip your head!
