They are also called THANGLES
http://www.thangles.com/ http://shop.millhousequilts.com/brow...FSoZQgodhx3i4A VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4p-vpLScRw (The video show how to make qtr sq triangles using the same size thangle) One $5.00 pkg will usually make a full quilt depending upon the pattern |
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my trangulation CD. I can make as many as I need anytime and any size I want.I can even make the most perfect flying geese with this hardware. I highly recommend it.

I've also used Thangles...www.thangles.com, they are great if you're doing a pattern, but I mostly do scrappies, so I do the 7/8ths thing alot. I love the process...relaxing for me.

As an alternative I like Kay England's half and quarter triangle rulers. Her method eliminates the 7/8ths measurements and subcutting of squares. Also a portion of the price goes toward breast cancer research. I think it saves on fabric, too.

I like to print off my HST, you can find free sites online to print them.
My guild did a swap of HST, we each did 3 different sheets. With 18 participants we had about 6 months to finish the project. It only took about 10 minutes to do each paper, I did a few at a time when the mood hit me. In the end you had about enough to make a twin bed sized quilt if you put borders on it. |

Are "Thangles" the same thing as the paper triangles you all are talking about??
