Help, please! Joining triangles into a strip.
I'm trying to join the triangles on the Jane Stickle quilt into straight lines for the borders. IS THERE ANY EASY TIPS? I have templates and a foam piece to pin them too, but very labor intensive. Maybe cutting the corners like for piecing other triangles would help? Paper piecing? (the row is one triangle up/one triangle down). Thanks for any help!

Are you talking about the pieced triangles or the solid ones? If the pieced, I would measure all, find most common size and conform all to that as discreetly as possible....if the solid fillers, make a template of the now all the same size pieced ones or measure them and away you go......I haven't gotten that far with dear jane and find some of her blocks are a definite challenge........think she did some piecing in the dark!

Hi Geri B. Thanks. The pieced and the "plain" triangles are the same size. After trial and error I found that I was forgetting to trim the corners off before lining up! So no more problems - except for this:
