Grrrrr... Easy Street!

I haven't got very far on the stitching in the ditch part of quilting Stars for a New Day...and I woke up Friday (snow day!) with the idea of sitting and piecing the blocks for Easy Street.  It took me till dinner time Friday to complete all the blocks...I do take lots of breaks :).  Then I tackled the setting triangles yesterday morning.  I was putting the setting triangles together by row, and when I got to the last row, I realized I was short 12 triangles!  And, much to my sutprise, I couldn't find any of that green, just nowhere.

 I had already made the decision to use the same green throughout the setting triangles, so a different green is going to really stick out if I use it in the same place throughout the setting blocks...even if its a green used in the quilt elsewhere.   I guess my only choice is to un-sew the the little triangle at the other end, and replace it with the new green, so that there is the same green at each end of the larger triangle.  And then I might have to change out the corner tip green on the corner triangles.  Arrggghh.  In the mean time, I'm going to put it all away and hope that I run into some more of the original setting triangle fabric.
