A lot of starch helps with the bias edge and even though lining up the triangles for sewing still confuses me, it didn't throw me off too bad. I'm tickled with my first block and looking forward to making the rest of them (17 more plus doing the flower applique in the center white area of each). I have officially conquered triangles! :D

You did a great job. Keep up the good work, it's going to be a beautiful quilt. Enjoy.
|
Your triangles look great! Enjoy the process and it will go smoothly for you!!
|
Your block looks very well made. Glad you took the plunge to do triangles - it will open up a new world of patterns for you! Beautiful fabric selection - the quilt will be lovely.

Congratulations! It is adorable. Can't wait to see the finished project.

After this experiment I have to say the best way to handle any technique that you're unsure about is to just tackle it head on and give it a try. Worst case scenario, it doesn't come out perfectly and you have to practice a little. :) |
Looks really good. Enjoy the process and relax.
