Thank you for posting these photos and tutorial; I’m working on this pattern right now! I really wanted to try a new quilt pattern that didn’t have an obvious up/down orientation, and this fits the bill perfectly.

In reply to Lauren. Hi Lauren, thanks for your tips. We did use scraps for the edges, but it still works the same if you use full triangles. Next time feel free to contact us! We are very responsive to questions. (Most of our tutorials are pretty light on the details, since we put most of our time and efforts into our patterns, but we are happy to help!)

I just finished making this quilt by using this tutorial. I do have a few suggestions though. First, I ended up choosing 6 different fabrics to add more variety since you are using so many triangles. My personal preference 🙂 Second, this tutorial hardly explains how to finish off the edges of the quilt. You can see in a few photos that they sewed scrap 60 deg pieces to the edges and then cut leaving a 1/4 in seam allowance. This was just not explained at all to use scrap pieces. I didn’t have the proper amount of scrap pieces while following the measurements they gave. I ended up using 19 triangles per row and then to finish off the edges I cut leaving 1/4 in. This is the only way I could figure it working was having an odd number of triangles per row. I just wanted to make the suggestion to clear up this tutorial to finish off the edges. Third, while I was piecing each row, I found it much easier to iron each seam open. I left the corner tails on as this helped me when lining them up for more exact sewing. Also while ironing I didn’t not use steam and was careful to not fuss with the triangles. As they are cut in the bias it made it much easier for the fabric to stretch. Overall, not the most detailed tutorial. It definitely took some help from and few very seasoned quilters to help me fill in all the missing gaps.

In reply to Jennifer. You're absolutely right! You just want the sides to all be about the same length. It will work no matter what size the triangles are, as long as they are all the same as each other.

If I cut the fabric into 5” strips my triangle will not measure 5” on each side. Please help me out.

In reply to Emily. Hi Emily, if you wanted it to be 40" x 40", just do the same width with only 9 rows. (Technically, it would be 8.5 rows to get it exactly 40", but this would be pretty close.)
