Thinking of possible adjustments

I’ve been looking at the bottom two pieces of the pattern and thinking of a way that I might handle them a bit differently than I did the long pieces on each far side. The situation is the pattern calls for a piece of glass that is longer than my glass sheets. For the sides, I am just abutting the cut pieces to make them appear longer, but for the bottom two edge pieces, I might do something else.

I think it might be nice to make two square pieces, either orange or the darkest gray, to fill the gap between the two light / medium gray strips. The squares would be inserted into the middle for symmetry.

So far I’ve been able to cut everything by hand and then make adjustments using my glass grinder.

However, some pieces really require a glass saw. There is a tool I could use to try to cut this by hand, but I’m not that great with it. I’ll have to fill the saw with water over the weekend to cut this piece.

This piece is going to require a saw because the angle is too sharp.
