Quilters Triangles, How To Make with Triangles with Seven-Eighth Inch Squares

Pin It
The next step is the triangle. Just like the square if you are not ready to purchase a rotary cutter and mat. You will need to make a freezer paper pattern.  How to do Square's HERE

Take the FINISHED size of the square you want and add 7/8 of an inch.
example:
for a finished size 2 inch square you will cut your fabric 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"
for a finished size 3 inch square you will cut your fabric 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"

for a finished size 4 inch square you will cut your fabric 4 7/8" x 4 7/8"

And so on, either make you freezer paper pattern or up with a rotary cutter and ruler.

A light and a dark.

On the Wrong side of the light fabric draw a line from corner to corner.


This is the cutting line NOT sewing line

On your sewing machine sew a straight seam, 1/4" from the line.

(when I have many to sew, I do chain piecing, one right after another, not stopping the machine until all finished and then turn and do the other side)

If NEW do them one at a time.

I recently posted a block on Facebook and there was a lot of take about points.

Here's how I do it.

Pieced together a triangle to a block

Added this as a strip to another piece.  Pin as much as you need, check as you pin to make sure
you have the 1/4 seam allowance.

On this seam I had to move the needle in just 2 threads to make the point perfect.

Press the fabric

  1. It's about time you took time for yourself! You do so much for us you deserve it! I love all the blocks you do.....I have started on your weekly blocks. I made little "kits" for each block and will sew them right along with my regular work.
    Thank you for being you and for all you do. Also I purchased the first 3 quilting ladies books and have enjoyed them very much.
    Happy quilting

  2. Let's check the box: From two feet away it looks whole. (Tip: A ruler will make clean cuts.) Now you are ready to start your first bag, but how big? Ideally I would like them to be uniformly sized however that just doesn't happen accordingly. Instead each one of these uk assignment-Assignmentcorner.co.uk bags have different sizes from top corner down. Go with what feels right.
