This is wonderful and might be the pattern I’ve been looking for for one of my sons. I’m pretty new to quilting still and have only played with fpp, are these papers a standard size that I can buy or what else do people use besides old phone books? I don’t have access to any old phone books anymore!

Here is a link to the forum's quilt along that has a bit more information on how each person is doing theirs. I used cheap muslin pre-washed and dried and cut the 4.5 x 8.5 base blocks, Didn't want to mess with paper, just my personal preference.
This is a fun quilt to do and goes pretty fast.
Have fun

I finished my wall hanging and am very pleased with it. I used dryer sheets for foundation and found it stiff to work on and of course, very aromatic! But I washed it when I was finished with the binding and it softened up and eliminated the smell. I don't know how to post but it looks much the same as those posted here.

I’ve been saving the dryer sheets after I use them. There is still some aroma but they are much softer & easy to use.

I'm glad I looked at this -- when I first saw the Quilt Along picture I thought of diamonds. Triangles in rows will be much easier to set together!

Terrific Tutorial. I love my scrap quilts and this is a great one. I played with it already, but then put it away do "finish" a boatload of UFO's first. However, one can use this for a Leader/Ender and have a quilt top in no time at all.

I just tried your block this afternoon. I am very pleased with the two blocks that I made--after finally tracking down my container of odd sized strips. Thanks for a great tutorial!

Thank You for the tutorial. Yesterday it rained all day and I played with strings all day. Fun project.

Hi guys....I'm wondering if anyone has an estimate of how much fabric I'll need for the "main color"? I'm getting ready to start, but wanted to make sure I had enough for the center triangle. If I'm making a baby quilt......40" X 60" or 40" X 40"......how many center triangles do I need? thanks!
