Square in Square without math.

I told works4me that I'd do picts of this method. Here they are.
I was playing with these leftover pieces last fall when I should have been workin' on my DGSons's Solar System quilt. :) When DDIL gits pregnant again I'll use these blocks & the other scraps ta make a quilt for that child. These are just picts of the pieces so you can see how they go tagether. The first 3 picts are of blocks already made. [ATTACH=CONFIG]334927[/ATTACH] This one is already trimmed down. [ATTACH=CONFIG]334928[/ATTACH] These 2 are not. [ATTACH=CONFIG]334929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]334930[/ATTACH] Here is my center piece. [ATTACH=CONFIG]334931[/ATTACH] Cut 2 squares the same size as the center then cut 'em on the diagonal. [ATTACH=CONFIG]334932[/ATTACH] Find the center of the center piece & of the triangle & line 'em up. [ATTACH=CONFIG]334934[/ATTACH] Here the 4 triangles are laid by the center piece. As you can see, even discounting the seam allowance, they will be too big. You will need ta trim down. [ATTACH=CONFIG]334935[/ATTACH] Here are some other pieces. |
Too cute! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting... looks like a great method to prevent the triangles from being too small, which happens to me toooooo often!
|
Thank you, I'm going to give that a try!! :-)

Cute blocks !
|
so, I am guessing as the SIS grows you just keep making the 2 squares for the next row of triangles the same size and then just cut on one diagonal........
|
I've tried this b4, but wound up with lopsided squares. DUH, the key as you showed so well is squaring each one!
|
Good for you for showing this, DublB
A picture is worth a 1000 words!

As QuiltE said be sure ta leave the 1/4" seam allowance when ya trim it up. |

|

|
wow that is clever and easy
|

I love doing these! But i have an easier way of doing them....start with 2 fabrics facing each other and sew all around it then draw an x on one side and clip in the middle so u can get scissor thru to cut on diagonial line (x) press open and get another square which will be equal size of new block and do it same way as u started, squares will get larger til u want it to a certain size block. No triangles to deal with. But your idea is so pretty too!

I always get nervous when I make these. This is good training. Thanks for the tut. Now I'm going to go home and try it.
|
Helpful tutorial, your method makes it look easy!
