After trimming, that quilt top is done!īaste quilt layers together. When all the rows are together, you’ll notice the jagged edge on that quilt! Just trim those sides off, leaving ¼″ seam allowance from the points. Press your seams open, regardless of how you initially pressed your rows. My seams were pressed in opposite directions, so I nested those seams and sewed with a scant ¼″ in order to avoid losing my points. Once the rows are all sewn, it is time to get those rows together.
Put your row back on your design wall/floor and move on to the next row! Once you have a whole row together, trim those threads and, if you want, trim those points off too. Now it is a matter of just sewing, pressing, and sewing again until the row is complete! Whatever your preferred method, stick to it for the whole quilt). Pressing seams open will reduce bulk, but it is harder to line up points. I like to line up the blunt edge with a pointed edge so I can more easily tell if my ¼″ is on track, since the blunt edge is ¼″ from the point.Īfter you sew one triangle to another, you’ll need to press the seam (pressing each row in opposite directions will help you line up the points, but will have a little more bulk.

From this point, you’ll rotate the ruler to get the triangle cuts, for about 8 triangles per strip.
