A No Math Way to Add a Corner Triangles to a Quilt Block

[@pv6034]

I am so grateful you made this video. I am a beginner quilter and was struggling with this block because they had me cut the corners way bigger than what is needed and then telling me to "estimate" about where it would go. after messing up countless of these blocks i was searching for a video to help me when i found yours. I no longer dread having to do this block thanks to the very clear instructions you provide. Please keep doing videos, you have a great way of teaching.

[@Wanda6308]

You are a God send. I had asked a few people to help me in knowing how to do what you just demonstrated, some did not reply and the one that did was very very rude like her time was more important then helping people to learn. I was very upset and hurt. So I want to Thank you Dear friend for caring enough to help and demonstrate the process so I could learn. It is people like your self that are such a Blessing to others and I want you to know how much I appreciate you and your time.

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you very much :) I am happy I was able to help

[@smmta1817]

This is the easiest most practical method I’ve found. I started off by adding 1/2” Until I built confidence that it was so accurate that I now use a 1/4” addition. So straightforward and comprehensive. Thank you. All the other videos were so complicated.

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

Thank you Laura Ann for this tutorial. I've been quilting since 1984 and seen many quilters do these corner triangles, yours is the best way. I recently found your KZbin Channel and watched many many of your tutorials, you're such great Teacher! Love

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you very much:)

[@donnapope3749]

I love your Tuesday Tips. Thank you for helping us all be better quilters.

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment:)

[@karin0963]

I couldn't figure out how you got 3 3/4" at first. I kept looking across the ruler instead if down. I restarted the video and figured it out. 😊 Great tip!! Thank you so much.

[@leonakenny9550]

Thank you so much Laura for such an informative tutorial on something that I was quite perplexed as to how I was going to do diagonal blocks!!! I always like to challenge myself with something new (I have been quilting for only a couple of years) and there is no shortage to the expansive quilting wonders!!!. Laura, your style and calmness of teaching is a great way to share your experience and knowledge. I also appreciate that you use the basic tools and that you also give an option if one doesn't have that specific tool. As I compose this, I have completed my very first diagonal "no math" block and it looks AWESOME!!!!! Thank you. Sincerely, Leona

[@pauletteyakimenko9781]

Did this type of block for first time today and finished well. Was having problems deicphering instructions in a book and other you tubes but your instructions were so helpful and clear and adaptable to any size block.

[@gailpartridge4976]

Laura, thank you very much for the instructions on making the triangle corner blocks. Just the other day I was trying to reproduce a quilt block from memory of a quilt my grandmother had made that was given to me. I had the hardest time figuring out what size to make the triangle corners. I finished the block but gave up writing instructions because I didn't know what to write the measurement as. Because of you, now I can! THANK YOU!!

[@talenagebbie9790]

As usual your tip is ingenious! I wish I would have ran across your tip b4 I had completely given up on a quilt I designed but couldn't execute. I believe uve just given it new life. Thank you again!

[@lesleyfarris4025]

Laura, you are such a good teacher. Thank you.

[@susanowen1709]

So simple, and yet so brilliant. Square in a square will be a breeze!

[@audreywilt5608]

Thank you Laura, I seam to always come back to your video's when I'm stuck on a problem. I'm doing an on point block quilt and needed to find the size of the edge triangles and the corner triangles to cut out. Now I can sew my rows together with the right size triangles and they'll all line up for the next row. Thank you it's sew very easy!

[@sherryfaires7931]

Thank you, Laura, for such wonderful information! I am thankful to know how to make any size Economy Block!

[@renettahill2816]

This video is absolutely amazing... I always waste fabric trying to figure out what size the triangle should be... You Rock! Thanks again.

[@patwilson5017]

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.

[@MelissaWoodPs138]

Thank you so much for this video. It has saved me from stressing over how to fix a "oops" moment in the process of constructing a block I'm working on. Your explanation of detail was simple and easy to follow and you gave multiple examples on different scales of block sizes. Thanks again so much! I shall do a joyous dance!!

[@MelissaWoodPs138]

Do you have a follow up video on explaining how to square the block when you add the half inch instead of the quarter inch? I was just curious to the process.

[@vincentgeorge2290]

Outstanding you make something that looks difficult very easy. You have a way of explaining things that everyone can fellow and enjoy doing.

[@FaunaCooper]

Ok I just wasted hours trying to figure this out. Very clear. Very easy. Fabulous!

[@marizasouza8230]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with people all over the world.

[@patriciadolinsek6112]

This was absolutely awesome! I am a newbie to quilting & trying to make a baby quilt with the center square as a focal point (5" finished square before adding the outer block). Boy, is this going to help! Thank you so much!!!

[@tracybrewer8237]

Fantastic tutorial. This has helped me so much. Now not worried about doing a quilt on the angle.

[@pamthetraveler7224]

Brilliant!! Thank you for all of your videos, you are a great teacher and thank you for not playing crazy music while you're talking :-)

[@cindyandrzejewski2770]

You are a genius!!! So easy. Thank you so much.

[@dkrzyston8485]

[@kaif1360]

You are a delight to watch and so very informative. Thank you so much for this video.

[@rmcrms5]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been searching forever for a way to figure out these corners that makes sense to me. This actually does!

[@gailpape2927]

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Great technique!

[@maggiehallinan1771]

SEW GLAD I found this video! I was trying to remember how to use the Pythagorean theorem for triangles! Lol! Now I don’t have to worry, I’ll just use this method! Thanks Laura!🥰

[@75ChrisC]

[@maijalowcock5355]

Thank you thank you thank you , need this at the moment . Great help! Love from Melbourne Australia.

[@QuiltNinja-im4ef]

Brilliant. Thank you! Also, I like to square up after sewing a block so this offers the perfect solution to both creating it and making room for squaring.

[@mgs783]

I had to revisit your tutorial to better understand triangle usage & placement regarding bias. I watched a tutorial by Heather Thomas on National Quilters Circle about cutting Corner triangles & Setting triangles when filling in a quilt top where the blocks are on point. Now your tutorial makes even better sense! The bias edge should be the edge sewn to the square . ~ I also love that you explain how &why to do the measuring different ways. Thank you for such helpful tips. This bias concept just puzzled me until now.

[@tabethabrown7641]

This was the greatest video ever. If u could see me do a happy dance, I am!! Lol! I have been making fan blocks and have wanted to put them on point and u just solved my problem! Thank you so much for ur helpful video!

[@lorim2074]

[@hstewart]

SO incredibly helpful. I've been looking for a method to do this that doesn't give me a headache. Thank you so much ☺

[@rebeccamills4673]

Kudos to another great video! Love your tips. Thanks.

[@newbeequilter]

I'm with you on using the 1/2 inch measurement so as to easily square up the block. For those of us who don't always sew an accurate scant 1/4 inch seam, it eliminates the stress of potentially loosing points on the inside block. That close-up at starting at 2:40 was perfect for helping us in understanding this concept. Thanks! And those paper-pieced flower blocks were just beautiful!

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you, now I have to go see what I did at 2:40 lol

[@dianaBramlett-fu2uq]

Thank you!! You made it very easy to follow!!

[@tammyc.8751]

So simple and explained so well!!! Thanks for helping me to not waste fabric, to avoid unnecessary math and to avoid frustrating mistakes! I hate wasting fabric, so cutting away big chunks to avoid measuring gets on my nerves.
