      The Quick & Easy Triangle Block Tool - Sheila Christensen

      Cutting Angular Shapes

      The shapes in these blocks are all based on a grid composed of 60° equilateral triangles. You can use a triangle ruler or a straight ruler to cut most of the shapes. Instructions are given for point-tip and blunt-tip triangle rulers; if using a triangle ruler, you will also need a straight ruler. The charts in this chapter include the quantity of shapes that can be cut from a 42˝ usable width-of-fabric (WOF) strip.

      CHOOSING A RULER

      Triangle Rulers

      Choose a ruler with measurements that run from top to bottom. The sizes of all shapes in the charts are measured by their finished height, not by the length of the sides.

      Point-tip rulers (such as those from C&T Publishing or Matilda’s Own) have markings that run from the pointed tip of the ruler.

      Blunt-tip rulers (such as those from Creative Grids) have markings that run from the blunt tip of the ruler.

      Straight Rulers

      You will need a ruler with a 60°-angle marking.

      TIP Some measurements are given in one-sixteenths of an inch for better accuracy. To measure  ˝ on your ruler, follow the diagram below.

      Using a Triangle Ruler

      1. Cut a strip of fabric the width shown in the table.

      2. Check the table for your ruler type to see which line to use.

      3. Place the triangle ruler with the line on the bottom of the strip. Cut both sides.

      Blunt-tip ruler: Add ½˝ to finished triangle height.

      Point-tip ruler: Add ¾˝ to finished triangle height.

      The triangle will have a cut-off tip.

      Using a Straight Ruler

      1. Cut a strip of fabric the width shown in the table. This is the finished height of the triangle plus ¾˝.

      2. Place the ruler with the 60° line on the edge of the fabric and cut.

      3. Move the ruler so the 60° line is on the other side of the fabric. Cut.

      The triangle will have a pointed tip.

      Half-triangles are cut from rectangles according to the size shown in the table. Like full triangles, they are measured by their finished height.
