I went back to the black and white stash to find something for setting triangles. The first one I found that had enough yardage was just too bold compared to the background fabrics in the blocks.
I went back to the stash and found 2 more larger yardage pieces (I mentioned yesterday I have lots of 1/4 yard pieces and some 1/2 yard pieces but not many larger yardage). The bottom one is too dark and I'm not sure if I like the top one.
One of the zebra prints is light enough but being a one way design, I'm not sure that makes me happy. I'll keep looking but I have a feeling that I will use a variety of fabrics for the triangles.
I finished the third one of the last 3 dishcloths I had started. Someone asked me how to get them to square up because they are kind of lopsided when they are finished. Actually they square up perfectly after the first washing.

I'm surprised that you even looked for a single fabric for those setting triangles. That quilt totally is asking for the variety treatment!
I agree with Kathy, multiple prints seems the perfect way to go :)
Multiple prints will allow you to use up more fabric and you won't have to worry about the zebras' orientation.
The top one in the second picture - is it a one way design? It might work, but I assume you are going to dig a bit more before you decide.
Fun to see your choices so far and knowing you will come up with the perfect one when you find it, in that amazing stash that you have.
The muted B&W prints look great with the triangles...
42 here this morning and now at 11 am up to 64 already--more heat on the way for our weekend they say... Out for breakfast this morning--our usual place did not live up to its normally great standards...another one down!! :((( Hugs Julierose
I like the first one but not sure how it would be with the two corner blocks that have polka dots in black
Just my two cents, but I really like the upper fabric for the side triangles in the second photo!
I like the two fabrics in the 2nd photo but agree this asks for a variety of pale prints. Also think the zebras would be a bother to keep right way up and what if you or a different owner wants a different side up?
47*F here this morning so we turned the heat on 70*F to take off the chill.
Hugs!
What about something other than a black and white?Maybe a multi print or black?
