Then I tried WOF. A 3.5, 6.5, and 3.5 stripped together made a nice swirly pattern. You get 4 12-12.5" triangles out of the width of fabric, so you need 6 cuts WOF of each fabric to make the throw. (Orange, white, green Asian prints) |
They are great. I do not do well with instructions that are not clear. Can be very frustrating. You did a great job. Think I would be scared to try this pattern even though I like it.

I can never understand patterns. I always look at the picture and figure out how it was made that way. I love the second one with the fruit it looks like a pricey mosaic. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

I really like your idea.

Nicely done. I love the second

Once you had the pattern, fabric, and ruler together, did the instructions and pictures make sense? Please email me if you still can't figure it out, or if you have a better way to describe these unusual techniques! It is labeled as an intermediate level pattern for a reason. I think someone here recognized that different borders will have different widths, so a measurement of the AB Diamond is impossible. I would love to find your tute. Beautiful Triangle Frenzy pictures! !!

I figured out how to make it.
The issues I had with the pattern is the way it is written. Unless a pattern is free OR part of a blog it usually lists fabric requirements, etc. In the pattern it says you need a certain width and so many repeats to a yard. Then it says that if you use the fabric in the pattern you need X number of yards. OR do this or that and you will need different amounts of fabric. A little to lax in detail, but long on variations. I frequently work with round quilting projects with wedge cuts, so I am familiar with the process. |
Wow...these would seem to be addictive!! They're all nice...but my favorite is #2 with the fruit....very retro looking.
