Setting triangles
I over-cut these so there would be a float.
Corner triangles cut with sides about 8 1/2 inches
Side corners cut with hypotenuse about 14 inches
On point quilts are a pain, but I like the effect when it is done. Also, those setting triangles are a great place to use directional fabrics.
My design, use at your pleasure.

I do like the way you have used a mix of light and dark backgrounds for the cake stands, light on light and dark on dark in some blocks, very effective.
SO SO SO wonderful - I love this one!
I LOVE this so much!
Cake Stand is one of my favorite blocks. I like your high-volume, colorful version!
Ooo, this one is sooo tempting! I have a cake stand in 30s fabrics that still needs applique. Hmmm, maybe that should be my next handwork project, then I can play with this one! Thank you so much for the directions.
