Default Can you help identify name of block and approximate age of fabric?

These blocks, plus a whole lot more, were given to my sister-in-law. Can you help us identify the name of the block and the age of the fabric? Thanks for your help.

Triangle hexagons, the fabrics are fairly recent. Look like a line Shabby Fabrics was carrying within the past year or so.

The blocks are made up of 60 degree triangles. If you google image '60 degree triangle quilts' several pictures come up with similar layouts. I have an accucut die that cuts these small equilateral triangle units and one of the suggested layouts is similar to this.

Beautiful, and I would be so pleased to have received them. Good luck finishing them up.

I couldn't find a name of this pattern but it is shabby chic fabric probably done within the last few years.

that is an odd way of putting them together, if you sew them in straight rows across the quilt it is easier. We made one called 1000 Triangles (I think), but scrappy..

Makes me think of one called Ten Thousand Pyramids. Not sure about the fabric, but I am thinking it looks recent.
