Team Matrix
If you're joining me in the Matrix quilt then it's all about triangles this week. They are simple blocks to make you just need to make sure you are lining up your triangles correctly before you sew.
Team Grid
If you are team grid then you are continuing all of the block making from last week. This is the week when all blocks will be finished, so you can really start playing around with layouts.

Team Grid - A few more blocks
Just a few more blocks and then you will have all of the blocks you need, yippee! If you get them all finished, then perhaps start playing around with your layout, you don't have to follow mine :) Team Matrix - Triangles So, all of your square blocks are done and now we can finish off the corner and side triangle blocks. Following the pattern and mixing and matching your low volume triangles they are simple blocks to make. There are some tips below if this is your first time sewing triangles to squares as you do need to match up the correct side. |
Tips for sewing Triangles on the side triangle blocks
NOTE- You will see that a bit of the triangle hangs over the edge, this is GOOD and as it should be, it creates the diagonal seam allowance.
Triangles on top (corner blocks) The process is slightly different for the corner blocks, (made with the small top triangles), this time you need line up the long edge of the triangle with the top edge of the square and make sure that the point of the triangle is centred within the square. |
