Very pretty colours. I was looking for options using a large 60 degree triangle ruler for a comfort quilt and I think this is perfect for a school-age child using 8-inch triangles and it will be fast. Thank you for sharing.

I love those triangles and the quilt and the fabric really adds to the beauty thank you for the video.

[@NanaKathy47]

I found your video because I wanted to make a triangle quilt for a child and wanted to do it right. I love your fabrics. You made everything easy to understand. I'm making mine from novelty and children's fabrics, two of each item, basically a triangular Matching game/I Spy quilt.

Thanks for the tutorial. Got the triangle ruler and did not know how to use it, so awesome video.

[@jeannieboyd6156]

Thank you I like the way you teach

[@chellebrereton6954]

I love the thought of triangles… I have not sold them before in a quilt but I definitely will now thank you

[@yoitskate6086]

What a beautiful quilt and a great video. I always mess up my triangles and this really helps to clarify them. Now a new subscriber 🎉

[@Westernwilson]

Nice tute! And a great lesson in why you need to keep your rotary cutter blade fresh! I was itching to change your cutter blade!

I love this idea of triangles and using ombre fabric. I wasn't sure how to use it before now. Thanks

[@cindylamont6240]

Color combination was perfect with using the ombre fabrics! Enjoy your video projects. Thank you!

[@marlenesalamandyk878]

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing with us 😊

[@frances6827]

Perfect stripes (non-solid) with the printed ombre looks great!

You did a fantastic job breaking this process down for anyone to try. I loved the tip,with the extra space for the end units. Thank you so much. I’m moving this to the top of my to do list. Happy New Year.

[@ColorGirlQuilts]

yea! thank you, so glad you liked it

[@patriciameixl2162]

I've always been scared of using triangles, but you made it look so easy, I. may have to give it a try. Thanks.

[@naomiscottt7711]

Great viode. good instructions on how to cut the triangle and sewing it together.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Lovely quilt and color choices. I find the Clearview 60 degree ruler has the best markings (to include the 1/2 triangles with seam allowance). I have the ruler you demonstrate. Not the same quality acrylic as others, and the blue shading is tough on dark fabrics. However, it is inexpensive, and I do like that it has the hole on the ends...great for marking hexagon seam stop/start .

[@judymoore4955]

Easy and cute!

[@franchartrand2436]

Great job as usual with fantastic color choices. Stripes and ombre fabrics make this design pop. Thanks for the super great instructions.

[@ColorGirlQuilts]

Thank you! hope you make one (-:

How much confetti ombré and striped fabric to make a large throw? 4 each?

Nice quilt! Do you have a formula to figure out the measurements for the rectangle for triangles Not made from 6” pieces? Thanks

[@ColorGirlQuilts]

No formula, basically it needs to be as tall as the triangle you are using (in this case 6") and as wide as the angle needed to set them into the triangle next to it. You can add as much as you want to this minimum to have extra at the edges of your quilt like I did.

Please remember beginning people do not have all the templates that you do. We need to know basics by using flat rulers

[@ColorGirlQuilts]

Hi, thanks for the feedback. That could definitely be a topic for future videos. This one was specifically to demonstrate how to use the triangle ruler and what to make with it.

[@Rumade]

Most flat rulers will have a 60° line on them. I've certainly cut a triangle quilt using them before, but now I'm making a larger one I've treated myself to a triangle ruler
