I found your video because I wanted to make a triangle quilt for a child and wanted to do it right. I love your fabrics. You made everything easy to understand. I'm making mine from novelty and children's fabrics, two of each item, basically a triangular Matching game/I Spy quilt.
Very pretty colours. I was looking for options using a large 60 degree triangle ruler for a comfort quilt and I think this is perfect for a school-age child using 8-inch triangles and it will be fast. Thank you for sharing.
You did a fantastic job breaking this process down for anyone to try. I loved the tip,with the extra space for the end units. Thank you so much. I’m moving this to the top of my to do list. Happy New Year.
Lovely quilt and color choices. I find the Clearview 60 degree ruler has the best markings (to include the 1/2 triangles with seam allowance). I have the ruler you demonstrate. Not the same quality acrylic as others, and the blue shading is tough on dark fabrics. However, it is inexpensive, and I do like that it has the hole on the ends...great for marking hexagon seam stop/start .
No formula, basically it needs to be as tall as the triangle you are using (in this case 6") and as wide as the angle needed to set them into the triangle next to it. You can add as much as you want to this minimum to have extra at the edges of your quilt like I did.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. That could definitely be a topic for future videos. This one was specifically to demonstrate how to use the triangle ruler and what to make with it.
Most flat rulers will have a 60° line on them. I've certainly cut a triangle quilt using them before, but now I'm making a larger one I've treated myself to a triangle ruler
