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!

New: Fandango Quilt Pattern!

This is one of my all-time favorite quilts. And now I've finished the pattern for it. This quilt is a lot easier than it looks. Fortunately! Can you imagine a busier quilt than this? Eleven pages, instant download, lots of clear hot-to photos. Lots of fun to make. Good winter blizzard project.

Take a look at the pattern. 

Houndstooth Quilt and Pattern

You'll be amazed at how quickly this quilt goes together! See the pattern.

This quilt has both retro and modern style, so I was happy to find this tie-breaker art deco fabric for the backing.
