I know your frustration. The only way I'd sew them was by paper piecing. That's why I love my Go and dies.
|
It isn't against the quilting 'laws' to trim the ends. There are several acryllic templates available for this purpose. I found them to be a good investment.
|
Do you mean right triangles? Not seeing any equilaterals in your photo.
|
It looks like the beige triangle is just a tad too big? You want the intersection to match up with the seam where the two points match.
You can either sew a little larger seam allowance on the beige triangle or trim off a smidge on one side and then do the 1/4 inch seam. |
Nice block, but no 60 degr. triangles in this one, may be you got the wrong picture attached?

That block is just stunning, your points match exactly! Great job (but no equilateral triangles ;))
I should make this one again, quite a challenge. |
Sorry, I guess they are not 60 degrees. I'm learning soooooo much. Ha ha ha

The triangles in this type of setting do not need to be offset by 1/4".
I just did an experiment and found that by offsetting them about 1/8" gives the best results. |
JenniePenny, that was very sweet. Thanks so much, I will practice this with scraps. I'm sure as soon as I develop a routine I won't have to rip out so many seams.
Thanks Everyone for your help. |
