Very nice piecing Tartan!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]554836[/ATTACH]I drew templates on card stock. The blade is 5 inches long, 3-1/2 at the top and 1 inch at the bottom, the equalateral triangle is 3-1/2 inches. This is the TRACING size that I did with my Fruxion pen and added seam allowances when I rotary cut.

Tracing them out on different coloured fabrics[ATTACH=CONFIG]554837[/ATTACH]

Fold in half and sew across the ends on the blades and inserts[ATTACH=CONFIG]554838[/ATTACH]

Finger press the center in both blade and insert, turn right side out, match up the seam with the finger press mark and iron[ATTACH=CONFIG]554839[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]554840[/ATTACH]I trimmed my inserts straight across to reduce bulk, I also find using a thinner fabric for the inserts works best.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]554841[/ATTACH]Fold the inserts right side out and pin 1/4 inch from the blade bottom.

The folded part of the insert is at the blade bottom with the skinny raw point at the top side. Put the next blade on top and sew.[ATTACH=CONFIG]554842[/ATTACH]
