I played around with my scraps and made enough slabs to cut nine red triangles (the others leaned too far towards red-orange for this ROYGBIV layout).
Then I did the same with my red-oranges and mixed them in with some of the ones I made last month at Lynne's house.
I also dug about in the triangles that came home from NH and filled in some of the other rows.
I have scraps pulled to make slabs for the final three rows (blue-violet, red-violet, and pink).
I added side triangles to my reds . . .
I also added side triangles to the red-oranges . . .
(note: side triangles are a mix of prints from Lynne's scrap stash and mine)
After straining a muscle in my side trying to reach the top row in that first photo, I re-did the layout on my design wall so that the quilt top is on its side.
So . . . much . . . easier . . .
The side triangles have been chosen for the nine yellow-orange triangles.
I'm not sure but I think it takes longer to choose the sides than it does to sew the blocks together, press, and square.

P.S. There's a permanent link in the sidebar to Lynne's Etsy shop where you can find all of her tutorials, including the scrap slab triangles like the ones I'm making.

It is looking good!
Lovely diamonds and triangles--hope your side is feeling better--good idea to turn your design wall sideways...makes a lot more sense!!
I hope your 4th of July weekend is a happy one hugs, Julierose
Your side triangles have more color in them than I often use, but I bet they are going to look great.

Fun, fun, Julie!!
Coming along beautifully!!
I like where this one is going!
It is moving ahead well
Sorry about the muscle .... you just need to get taller hahahaha!
I agree that it's often more complicated to choose the side triangles. Your quilts are looking good!
