Triangles are such versatile shapes to use in quilts, so it’s no wonder they are featured in so many traditional and modern quilt designs. Triangles offer balance, variety, and can be arranged in endless ways. In this class, I will help you level up your skills by showing you how to efficiently cut and piece perfect triangles.

This class is the third part in my Quilting for Beginners series, where I break down the entire process of creating a quilt from beginning to end. If you are completely new to quilting, then I recommend beginning with the first two courses of this series:

Quilting for Beginners Part 1: Creating a Quilt Top

Quilting for Beginners Part 2: Finishing Your Quilt

If you have completed Parts 1 and 2 of this series, or if you have completed at least one quilt, then by now you have a handle of the basics of quilting. So let’s dive deeper and build your quilting skills by exploring the wonderful world of triangles!

In this class, which is Part 3 of the series, we will build upon the skills we learned in the first two classes by creating more advanced triangle blocks. I will share with you my tips for constructing, trimming, and piecing triangles, ensuring your design comes out just as you envision. We will cover four of the most common triangle blocks: half square triangles, flying geese, square in a square, and half rectangle triangles.

This course includes:

Guidance for constructing the four most common triangle blocks: half square triangles, flying geese, square in a square, and half rectangle triangles
Measurements and techniques for efficiently cutting and constructing multiple blocks at a time
Tips for accurately trimming triangle blocks
Techniques for matching seams
A downloadable workbook that includes written instructions, diagrams, and cutting charts for each of the blocks covered in this class
TWO quilt patterns that you can download and use to practice all the triangle blocks covered in this class
A bonus lesson on how to turn your finished quilt block into an envelope-style pillow cover

Whether you are a beginner quilter sewing triangles for the first time, an experienced quilting looking to refine your techniques, or a quilt designer researching efficient methods for constructing triangle blocks, this class will break down my process in simple steps, and I will share what I have learned over the years. Come join me!
