I am trying to make a crayon panel for a room divider. I realized I have never done triangles that didn't come from a purchased pattern. I was hoping someone could help me out so I don't waste a whole bunch of fabric. I have had a huge amount of technological frustration. The can I just beat my head against the wall kind of week and wanted to have some fun by sewing. Sooo really don't want to do this the hard way.

Finished panel will be 14 in wide. I was thinking of 7 crayons across so 2.5 in strips. What I am struggling with is what size to make the "points" I attached a picture of what I am wanting to do.

Thanks so much!!

Rather than triangles for the points maybe you could paper piece them similar to the crayon baby quilt I recently made? I am on my ipad and don't know how to link, but if you look under my name they might show up.

I agree, try paper piecing them. I am working on a wall hanging and wanted points similar to what you are wanting so I just made a square the size I needed, drew lines on it and paper pieced the block. Worked out very well.

I have never paper pieced but may give that a try. Thanks

I was able to find the picture thanks. Nice look. Oh so many options.

The crayon points are a 'v-block', and they are easy to make. You tube has several tutorials.

Perfect! Thanks. Having a "name" helps a lot. Searching "triangle" was a bit to broad to be helpful.
