This way the white seam stays on the white fabric, and the blue seam stays on the blue fabric.Īfter ironing, keep adding more triangles. I iron down the middle of all my seams for fear of the blue fabric showing through a bit in the white fabric.
(Please excuse the dust on my machine…didn’t know it was that bad until I took a picture…)ĥ. Your seam allowance needs to be greater than a quarter of an inch (the standard seam allowance for most projects.) The little line right next to your presser foot…that should be a 3/8 of an inch allowance. You don’t have to stagger them as noted in many other instructions.Ĥ. To sew your triangles together, line up right sides together end to end. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! Here is where I sew my triangles a bit differently, but it turns out to be much simpler for me…and maybe you too. If you are following my tutorial closely, you may want to use the same triangle ruler as me. I am sure there are other triangle rulers available and other techniques for cutting down triangles, but I am not familiar with them. Cut your strips down into triangles using a Quilt Sense Kaleidoscope Triangle Ruler. Start by cutting your fabric into six inch strips.Ģ. ? I love that last floral one with the mint background. I included a few others that I thought would be fun for the backing.
Isosceles triangles plus#
($20 for a king size set…score!) If you want something that looks almost exactly the same as the Target plus sign sheets, you can check out this fabric. I actually used the same sheets that Kate used on the back of her blanket. If you are looking for a triangle quilt tutorial where you DON’T HAVE TO STAGGER YOUR TRIANGLES, look no further. In the end, I decided to finish this quilt sewing large seams allowances between triangles and not staggering them. I went on to put this quilt and all the cut triangles in a box and said I’d come back to it in a few months when I was sure what I wanted to do with it.
Isosceles triangles tv#
I even took them over to my mom for her to rip some out while watching TV in the evenings. I thought about ripping out all the seams I had already sewn for this quilt. That’s when I put out this tutorial on staggering triangles. Half way through this project, I did some reading to figure out how triangle quilts were supposed to be sewn. Well, sure enough, with a larger seam allowance between my triangles, I ended up with a nice quarter of an inch seam allowance between rows. Instead of going about the intelligent way and looking up some tutorials, I decided to experiment with seam allowances between my triangles. I had basically no seam allowance to sew into rows. I couldn’t sew my strips of triangles into rows. So I started sewing this quilt, lining up my triangles tip to tip, and sewing on my merry way. (If you know me personally, you have probably noticed I am behind the trends on lots of things though.) I think I am little behind because I started seeing triangle quilts popping up all over the quilting community years ago. I’d been wanting to make a triangle quilt for quite some time.
I didn’t want to go the route of preprinted fabric for this project.
Since I really do love patchwork quilts, I decided to use her adorable blanket as inspiration for my first triangle quilt. I read that her blanket was made with preprinted fabric from Spoonflower. I loved the low volume mix of colors, and I am always drawn to hues of blues and whites. If you click here, you’ll see a blanket she made. I think she does adorable work and is super talented.
