Triangle Frenzy size?
Hello:
Does anyone know of a way to estimate finished size of a Triangle Frenzie table topper based on the pattern repeat? I just finished one with a 10 1/2 repeat that is about 46 x 20 1/2 inches. Have another piece of fabric with a 12 3/4 repeat. The width will be about 25 1/2 but the length puzzles me.
Love the sharing of knowledge on this board. No end to the things one can learn.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will surely try the formula. A larger repeat does make a rather large table topper. May have to cut strips narrower and give up some pattern. Unless one has an "antique" most tables are small.

Triangle Frenzy® length formula
Nice job, Jennifer!
Not only is there a formula, but I have an entire spreadsheet for all these numbers.
Would this type of formula be useful on the patterns?
I am just afraid that the variations in rulers, seam allowances and such would lead to confusion if the finished size turned out to be different than the calculations. But that is no different than any other pattern, right?
You may have just talked me into including it?
Would you like to see that information on my website until then?
Thanks

I would love to see this information on your web site. I make a lot of these and would love know prior to making them, what size they will be.
Thanks

Triangle Frenzy® patterns Simplified formula by Bunnie
Triangle Frenzy® Simplified formula for estimating size:
Width = (strip width - 0.5”) x number of triangles wide
(Swirl and Runner is two, Hexagon and Whirlwind are four)
Length = (strip width - 0.5” seam allowance) x 1.15 x number of triangles long
(Swirl is 3, Runner, Hexagon, and Whirlwind are four)
Keep in mind that these are approximations, and actual finished size varies depending on cutting and sewing variations. This formula will give you a rough estimate of what finished size to expect for your Triangle Frenzy® projects!
This is for the other variations of the different Triangle Frenzy® patterns.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm!!
