Sunset Isle QAL – Month 5: Triangles in a Square

It’s the first of the month, and that means it’s time for the next installment of the Sunset Isle quilt pattern! Last month was all about the square in a square blocks, and watching your quilts grow  the Sunset Isle Facebook group and on Instagram on #sunsetislequilt (see below) is just so much fun! If you’re working

MONTH 5

This month is a different kind of “in a square” block – triangles! These blocks are another great chance to show off your favourite prints, and if you’re following the rainbow plan, this row is all about the warm-toned greens. Think nature (grass and leaves) – the more yellowy light greens in your stash that are stored between yellow and aqua!

To make these blocks, the pattern includes two piecing options:

• foundation paper piecing templates and full instructions for how to foundation paper piece – you can also check out my foundation paper piecing tutorial here that includes step-by-step photographs too; and,
• machine piecing templates if you prefer to make your own from templastic and rotary cut the pieces
