Perfect Quilt Points Every Time Without Even Trying!

Place a triangle on a square (by eye) as shown above. Sew a 1/4" seam along the long edge.

Press open.

Trim, as shown above. No need to trim off the tan fabric under the triangle. 

(Unless you plan to hand-quilt. 

You can't miss getting sharp points with this method. 

And even if all your triangles aren't exactly the same size 

(since you position them "by eye")  so what? Who cares? 

I think slight variations add a charming vibe.

You could spend the next 100 years making awesome quilts with just this trick!
