Ombré lattice help
 

Hello, I’m working on a quilt called ombré lattice by v and co. I’m probably an advanced beginner, but sometimes I bite off more than I can chew. The pattern is simple, but I’m having troubles figuring out and easy and efficient way to put the triangles on the block without it becoming crooked. Not to mention, the triangles extend pass the block to make room for 1/4” seam. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!

A picture would help us see your problem. I hope you get some helpful answers! It sounds like a beautiful quilt.

Here are pictures of some squares I have. I can’t find the pattern at the moment, but I hope this helps

No photos yet. Take a look at the tool bar that is just above the "quick reply" box. Over on the right, 3rd from the end is a green screen with what looks like a tree in it. Click on that and follow the steps to post a photo. Good luck!

To post a picture:

I click on the "Go Advanced" tab just under the quick reply section to post pictures. Then scroll down to the "additional options" section & click on "Manage Attachments". Then I go to "browse" & select the picture I want to post from pictures in my file on my computer. You may have to resize your picture as sometimes it won't accept a pic if it is too large. Hope this helps.

looks like a row quilt set on point with setting triangles on the ends. Usually I line up the long end of the triangle with the strip, and the point end extends a bit past it.

I think I got it this time!

The final block that I posted is actually crooked, and I don’t know how.

Fold the triangle in half, being very careful not to stretch the bias edge, and finger press a crease at the center. Fold the piece that it is going to be attached to, in half and finger crease the center as well. Now match up the finger creases. Much better than just eyeballing it.

If you have a block that is a little 'off', it might be from too aggressive pressing. You can 'bring it back' by laying it on your ironing board and pinning down two sides. (Use a ruler to get them straight, gently tugging to line them up properly.) Now again using the ruler, measure and pin the other two sides to the size that they are supposed to be. It is ok if one side is too long, just ease it up to the length it should be and pin. Now wet it down with a spray bottle and leave it to dry. Very often bias seams that have had too rough handling will shrink back to their original dimensions.
