How I Made a Triangle Quilt

June 26, 2012 by Jessica 80 Comments

20120603_0004editint

A few months ago, a good friend of mine found out she was expecting baby number 4. Both of us being sewers, we immediately talked about what to make for baby. I asked her if there was anything I could make and she said a quilt.

20120603_0008editint

A few weeks later when she found out she was having a boy and she sent a few pics my way of what kind of quilt she wanted. A triangle quilt it was! They are quite the rage at the moment 🙂 We discussed colors, to use batting or not, and size. She decided on the above colors with a stripey binding; no batting (since she lives in Florida which is a rather warm state); big enough to cover the crib mattress for when it transitions into a toddler bed.

20120603_0005editint

I went to the store and bought some fabric and made a quilt. I had done some measurements wrong and it wasn’t quite wide enough and I just wasn’t digging that color scheme, so I went back and bought more fabric and adjusted the size. This is what came of it. I’m going to share how I made it in case anyone is interested. I’m not a super quilter or anything and there might be better ways to do some of these things, but I like to live and learn with my sewing 🙂 and this is how I did it.

20120603_0010editint
Supplies to create a crib sized quilt ( measures roughly 42″ x 60″)
I can say for sure, you will need 2 yards for the backing (with no extra, I just added that extra triangle line for interest) and .5 yards for the binding. The rest just depends. Here is a breakdown of what I used and I had some leftover, but it’s good to have a bit extra just in case you need it.
Gray (2 yards used for backing and .5 for front) 2.5 yards
White 3/4 yard
Khaki 3/4 yard
Yellow .5 yard
Peach .5 yard
Green  .5 yard
Blue 3/4 yard
Orange .5 yard
Striped Fabric for binding .5 yard
I didn’t use any batting, but I’m sure there is a crib sized one that would work, or you just buy one that is bigger and cut it down to size.
The triangles will be 6.5″ high and 6″ wide at the bottom. There will be 11 rows of 17 whole triangles, where as the two on the edge will be cut in half during the trimming process. 
The binding needs to be 180″ long and 2.5″ wide (or width of your preference). I will not share a tutorial on how to make this as there are tons out there already. Simple search “how to make quilt binding” and you will find many ways to determine which one fits you. I will show how I cut mine though, as I did not do it on the bias which might require more fabric.

Other supplies I used:
-Starch
-Iron
-Pins
-Dark gray thread
-Rotary cutter
-Scissors
-Cutting board
-Ruler 

Cutting the fabric:
IMG_4890

To cut the triangles, I started with my fabric piece and starched it. This helps keep its shape a lot. Trust me. I didn’t do it on the first and noticed a big difference.

IMG_4891

I folded it in half (this is where is was folded on the bolt).

IMG_4892

Then I folded it again in the same direction.

IMG_4893

And then one more time.

IMG_4894

Next, it was time to get rid of the terrible unmatched ends.

IMG_4895

Using the equipment you have, trim off the uneven edges so it’s even.

IMG_4896

Then go down the folded piece of fabric and cut in 6.5″ pieces all the way down.

IMG_4897

Get as many pieces cut out of it as you can.

IMG_4898

Stack them and put them to the side and do this with all the fabric pieces you are using for your triangles.

IMG_4899

Once that is all done, open up one piece so that it is folded in half only.

IMG_4904

I placed the folded side on the edge of my cutting board and angled the ruler from one bottom corner to 3 inches over on the top. Then I cut along the edge with rotary cutter to get my first triangle. (note: it will be folded in half 😉

IMG_4905

Then I continued cutting triangles, but now the fabric isn’t folded, so it needs to be the whole triangle size. I made the angle so that there were six inches across at the bottom and it hit 3 inches over at the top.

IMG_4906

Continue cutting triangle like this until the end.

IMG_4903

When you get to the end, you will have some extra usually. So you might just want to cut half triangles to use on a different project. Maybe make a matching pillow or use on the backing.

Triangle Placement:

IMG_4845

Now lay them all out on the floor for how you want them to go. I just randomly placed them pleasing to the eye. This pic above was from the first quilt I did. You will need to have 11 rows of 17 WHOLE triangles in each. We will do the trimming at the end instead. I just forgot to take pics of this part on the 2nd quilt.

IMG_4847

Once they are all laid out, I stacked them in order and then put a sticky note for which row it was. I made sure to start with the same end on each row so it all matched up how I wanted it to.

IMG_4846

Then stack them however you like and take them to sew.

Sewing Quilt Top:

IMG_1049

Sew the triangles in a row together, about 1/4″ seam allowance. I did mine a tad smaller though. Make sure to keep them in order. Once done, press open the seams with iron. Do not actually slide iron along. Just hold it down and pick it up to press. This helps it keep its shape better for matching up the rows later.

IMG_1047

I kept the note with which row it was on each one so I didn’t misplace one. Keep in order while sewing the rows together.

IMG_1051

Now start to sew the rows together.

IMG_1052

Start by pinning rows 1 and 2 together, making sure the triangle ends meet each other.

IMG_1054

Once sewn, press open the seam.
Next sew rows 3 and 4 together.
Then 5 and 6.
Then 7 and 8.
Then 9 and 10.
Then sew 11 onto 10.
Then sew the first group (1&2) to (3&4). Sew (5&6) to (7&8).
Sew (5,6,7,8) to (9, 10, 11).
Then finally sew (1,2,3,4) to (5,6,7,8,9,10,11).
This helps keep the rows straighter as opposed to just sewing them all together starting from 1 and working on down.

IMG_1084

The top is almost done 🙂

IMG_1086

Now trim the edges. Just even them out two at a time.

IMG_1087

Looking good 🙂

Making a Quilt Sandwich:

IMG_1106

Next place the backing down on the floor, wrong side facing up. You only need the 2 yard piece. If using batting, add that next. Then place the triangle top on top of that, right side facing up. Pin the three layers (or 2 in my case) together as you prefer.

IMG_1105

Next, I sewed above and below each rows seam only (width wise). You could do more, but this was good enough I felt.

IMG_1107

Then to keep it in place, I also sewed down the top and bottom edge to the backing. Then I finished by trimming the backing that was poking out on the sides.

Cutting the Binding:

IMG_1092

I then cut my strips for the binding by folding my 1/2 yard in half. I cut 2.5″ strips and sewed them together. Again, find a good tutorial you like on how to do this part as there are many methods. I hand sewed it to the back though. I just can’t quite do that part with machine sewing yet 🙂
When it’s all done, I like to throw it in the washer to help it get started with that crinkly comfy look. That is one of my favorite parts about quilts.

So there you have it! It was fun to make and a great learning experience for me. I can’t wait to get this to baby Jude 🙂

      You should do it sometime 🙂 It makes it more cost effective too! lol. I have made all of our quilts this way so far. They don’t get as crinkly looking, but it’s great for these hotter climates. I had a friend in FL who quilted, and while they were stationed in Hawaii, she said none of the quilters there used batting at all. But when they were stationed in Alaska, everyone did.

        with your first piece of fabric that you folded for cutting the stripes, what size was it and does it matter or do you fold it to trim the edges and the cut 6.5 inches ?

          For the first gray piece, I used a 1/2 yard. It doesn’t necessarily matter how you fold it (but this was folded width wise), I just folded it and then cut the strips to be 6.5″. So you could use any size fabric really, just cut them into the 6.5″ width with the length being however long the fabric is. The longer the length, the more triangles you can cut from each strip. 🙂

    Thanks so much for this tutorial! My Grandmother was a quilter, and I had the chance to help her when I was younger with the hand quilting side of things, so I feel comfortable with that, but… after her passing over a year ago my mom gave me a bag of fabric from Grandmother’s items. I just went to look through it last night to find fabric for the “Fabric Letters” I’m going to make for my son’s first birthday present. Anyway… I found a 5 piece strip of triangles sewn together. I cried. I want to use her scraps and make a triangle quilt just like she did. I have a quilt she made specifically for me, but was not able to get a utility quilt, we have a BIG family. … She called her triangle quilts “UTILITY QUILTS” … made mostly of fabric scraps (you could look thru her quilt and pick out your sunday dress or your christmas pi’s, or bedroom curtain) Her utility quilts were printed fabric triangles going one way and solid white going the other. They make me smile! Again, thank you… this will help me make one to mimic hers!!

      Hi 🙂 Yes, I just used regular cotton fabric. I went to the section in the fabric store with the solid quilting cottons and batistes and just sat pulling out colors until I found the color combo I liked. So, some fabric was thinner than others since it all wasn’t from the same line, but you can’t tell at all once it’s all together.

      How sweet of you to make your sister gifts 🙂 The back was just regular quilting cotton fabric as well. It is just a dark grey so it might come off as it has a different look due to the low lighting I took the pics in. The stripey fabric actually came from Hobby Lobby, but they might have some at Hancocks too. It’s a pretty popular type print 🙂 So if you can’t find it anywhere, I know that you can find it online. Have fun making a quilt 🙂

I just don’t ask that people claim it’s their original idea 😉 But, it happens I’m sure! lol.

      It sure is a lot of work, but not that difficult. I worked in shifts to make it go quick. One night I cut the fabric and laid it out. Next, I sewed half the rows….and so on. I’m not quite sure how long all together because I worked on it an hour here, an hour there kind of thing. But, I would say at least 5 hours all together. Maybe a little more.

      Yay for starting to quilt! I used Niagra spray starch that we picked up from Target. The type you buy will have directions, but you spray a little on, let it sit a minute or two, then iron. It’s really not necessary if you are using the good thicker quilting cottons, but a lot of my fabrics were on the flimsy side so it helped a lot!

    I am attempting to make my first triangle quilt. ,I think I have everything cut out correctly. But when I go to sew my rows together, the top points of my triangles are cut off. What didi do wrong when I was sewing the triangles in a row? I would appreciate anyone’s help. Thank you

      Hi 🙂 Mine are cut off as well, but not so much that it is really noticeable once all together. If you really want more of the point, you will need to make the triangle a little taller (to keep this size) and when you sew the individual triangles together side by side, the pointed ends should not come all the way to the edge of the triangle its being sewn to. So, the triangles when sewn together, would not be even and would need to be trimmed before sewing the rows together. This gives you space in the seam allowance so the point is seem more.

    Hi Jess, I am a quilter in Florida and I absolutely love your quilt. I didn’t know it wasn’t batted from the photos. I made one once w/o batting and just tacked it together in random spots. After machine washing a few times, my seams started coming apart 🙁
    Do you know how your quilt has held up after washings? I am assuming it has been machine washed since it is for a child.
    Thanks sew much,
    Lauren

      Hi Lauren 🙂 All the quilts I have ever made without batting have held up wonderfully! In fact, I just saw my friend whom I made this quilt for over spring break. She brought it to the beach and her hubby was telling me what a conversation starter it was and how they loved it still so much. I have made most of my own myself and have had them for years, with plenty of washings, and they are fine. Adding batting doesn’t hold them together, it’s the stitching that does. If the seams were coming apart, then I would look into what kind of thread you are using. It might not be a very good kind. Also, the seam allowance might not have been enough. When sewn to close to the fabric edge, it’s easier for the fabric to unravel and the thread to work its way out and come undone (if that makes sense lol). I hope that you are able to figure it out and solve the problem 🙂

    Would you ever make another blanket just like this one and sell it?

      I wouldn’t just because I don’t have much extra time these days to make things to sell, although I hope to one day. Anyone else is more than welcome to hire someone to make one like this or make it themselves to sell. If you are looking for one to buy, you might be able to find one similar on Etsy. -Jess

    Thanks for posting this, Jess. I was looking for a technique to make comforter covers for my kids to take to college – something simple that I could make largely with my existing quilting fabric stash. This approach should work great. Thanks!

    Love your tutorial! One thing I’ve found helpful in keeping my rows in order is flat-head pins that have numbers on them. I found them here: https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/81294/msqc/msqc/msqc-star-pins (I put the numbers on the stars with a Sharpee, then painted over the numbers with clear nail polish.)

    Hello! I made 2 of these(as a result of your tutorial),for 2 of our Grandchildren, both born 5 1/2 years ago in the USA, while we were still Missionaries in Belize C A . My choices for fabric were limited, however, the quilts turned out so, so darling! This week we have been blessed with our 5th Granddaughter(3 days old now), and I was searching everywhere for this tutorial so I can start another of these quilts ASAP – thankfully I checked my Pinterest Pins from 2012 and finally found what I waslooking for – YAY! When I am finished with this one I will make 2 more for the older Grands who don’t have theirs yet. I love the black and white stripped binding, and how chi’c it looks with the bright colors I choose to use – thank you so much for sharing this simple pattern for woman as myself to use, who enjoy sewing and like to keep it uncomplicated, too!
