A helpful Tip

All those corner triangles!

When you do those you can either draw I line from one corner of the little square or put a crease in with an iron. Both methods are somewhat time-consuming. 

If you use the “draw a line” method you have to have the appropriate drawing tool depending on the color of the fabric.

With that method or with the ironing method you not always see the line  good when you are sewing.

This is what I DID!

Lay the little square on the big square.

Take a stiff piece of paper (greeting card is good) and lay it across from corner to corner.

 Slide it under the sewing machine until the needle touches the paper making sure that the paper didn’t slip.

Make a few stitches and make sure the bottom is aligned properly. Sew just next to the paper.

As you can see … I didn’t need to do any trimming.

(Of course you do cut away the two bottom layers)

I rotate the fabric so that I can again sew from the top edge down to the middle. Works best for me.

There were lots of corner triangles when I made the ribbon quilt. This worked great for me. If you would like it, here is the PDF to download.
