Default MSQC new tute

just watched new tute by Jenny Falling Triangles.........layout looked very confusing to me...just watching her try to describe how to lay them out.....I dont really see the path? Some up,some down, then down, then up??????????
Will have to make a small one to see for myself I guess. But like she said at the end......however you do it is ok????

It was a little confusing - I saw the pattern better by looking at the quilt on the wall behind her - but her point of view and ours is different - I think if you made the blocks it would make more sense in the layout. I did like the quilt - looked like one of those difficult blocks but it really isn't - I just don't know how she comes up with these every week but I am happy to see each and every one of them.

It reminds me of Bonnie Hunter's Dancing patches. I'd say if you look at the layout of that pattern you might understand the layout of this one better.

I just watched it & am going to enjoy making this one. I didn't have any trouble with the lay out on her tute. Will go together quickly.

I've made about 8 of her falling charms quilt so it was a little easier for me to understand.

I think her point was you could lay this out any way you wanted; just play with it until you find something pleasing to you. If you want to lay it out the way she has it you can make a small drawing of the first couple of lines and follow that.

Looks pretty good to me...it's on my "to do do" list next! I've just done a 10 min blocks twin size almost completed.

Take a closer look once again....to me they look like windmill blades, but spaced apart.

Seems a bit washed out to me with all that white. I think it would look better with black and bright batik triangles. That what is great about Jenny's tutorials, she gives you an idea for a specific design and then you can use whatever method or fabrics work best for you.

Default it wasn't you

the pattern she laid out on the table was different than the pattern on the wall. But, it just makes clear that you can do it many ways. She often jokes about being math/pattern challenged and her need to look at an example to get it right.
