Assemble the Strippy Quilt Columns
Cut Corner TrianglesCut (6) 5-1/8" x 5-1/8" black squares. Cut each in half once diagonally. You'll use four triangles per column.
Cut Setting Triangles
Do not use this method for border print triangles.
Cut (5) 9-3/4" x 9-3/4" squares. Cut each square in half twice diagonally. You'll use six triangles per column; save two for another project.
Optional Border Print Setting Triangles
Use the template created previously to cut one border print triangle. Cut (17) more identical triangles by placing the first on top of the fabric, right side up, and aligning all areas of the print. You could align long strips on top of each other (matching prints) and cut through several layers at once.
Assemble a Strippy Column
Refer to the illustration.
- Arrange four blocks on point as shown, with black squares pointing towards each other in pairs of two.
- Sew a setting triangle to the right and left sides of the two middle blocks as shown. Press seam allowances towards the triangles.
- Sew a corner triangle and a setting triangle to the top and bottom blocks as shown. Press seam allowances towards the triangles.
- Sew block units together to create a column, matching seam intersections for a good fit. Press.
- Center and sew remaining corner triangles to column. Press seam allowances towards the triangles.
- Make two more strippy columns.
