I have not ventured into the world of triangles yet, but I just got some gorgeous symmetrical repeating patterns and a book that teaches how to cut the pattern into triangles to make snowflakes and a template too...sooo, I'll be going there sooner or later. lol

Do you mind telling us the name of the book? I think I'd like to get one of them... I like the effect of triangles now that I have gotten started on them. Thanks.

It's not out of a book.. My LQS had a small pattern card laminated for sale (less than the size of a postcard). Decided nothing ventured, nothing gained and this was not a huge investment like a $25 book that I MIGHT use 2 patterns from - lol. I'd be happy to get another and mail it to you. No charge - pay it forward as it is my turn to do that for someone. Please PM me, if you are interested. I have to go to LQS today for secret swap anyway, so it is no trouble.

they are so pretty... :D

I agree with cjomamma, Ronda tutorial are great and very easy to do.

The light colored one was first and is the most "off", so I am forced to keep it for me. Second one is a gift for my daughter. Forgive that I got overly anxious to post and have not bound them yet.

I never work with triangles per se if I can help it. Usually sew squares together then cut. Saves stretched sides.
I'm sure your daughter would love either. Both are very pretty.

Thanks. I just checked this out. How easy is THAT? I'll give that a try the next time I venture into triangles. Loved it. Happy Thursday with much appreciation for your tip.

You are very welcome. I think Rhonda's way of doing things makes the quilting life much easier.

Very good job. Love the fall colors.

I think your squares are beautiful and I love the fabric choices. Terrific!!

Sharon, I can't see anything wrong with the first one! They are both beautiful and you did a fab job working with plaids!
They scare me hahaha
