How to Make Triangle in a Square Quilt Blocks -- a Modern Triangle Quilt Block Sewing Tutorial

Have you ever wondered how to make a Triangle in a Square quilt block? This Tri-Rec quilt block tutorial will show you how to make these fun triangle quilt blocks using rulers to cut out your Triangle fabric pieces.
Tri-Rec quilt blocks are also known as Triangle in a Square quilt blocks. The top angle of the center Triangle shape is a little less than 60 degrees, which makes this triangle and Isosceles triangle.
The Triangle in a Square block is a key component of the Bonanza quilt pattern, which will be in my pattern shop beginning on December 9th.
Watch this video quilting tutorial for tips & tricks to make this modern Triangle quilt block. I'll share how I prep my fabric, cut out the triangle shapes, and piece them together with my sewing machine.

I never was aware, that it is not a 60 degree angle. So I don't have to wonder, why it was not working. 😂 Thanks a lot.

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

Happy to help!

[@suzyroy3360]

im about to cry... i bought creative grids rulers...but why do my blocks always finish at 3 1/2 by 4...:?.... :( i cant figure out what im doing wrong and im just wasting my fabric D:

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

I’d be happy to help! Which rulers are you using? Send me a photo of your blocks and of your rulers (my email address is [e-mail]) Ps your fabric isn’t wasted! You can definitely use those blocks to make a project, just maybe not the one you’ve originally planned 🙂

[@MagnaB-8]

Please close the guard unless you are actually cutting. People new to rotary cutters need to have safe handling demonstrated, especially by experienced people demonstrating a technique. Thank you.

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

Yes!! Always close the guard when not in use
