Triangulations?
I just received my triangulations software. I have looked on the internet for info, but not finding what I need. I would like to make 4 quarter square triangle blocks. How do I determine what size HST and QST to print?
I am proud of myself for figuring out how to access the files on the program....baby steps! Haha.
Thank you!
ETA: I figured it out! Thanks.....

I love that CD! ❤️ I almost always use Triangulations for HSTs and QSTs - so precise! Triangles used to be my nemesis because of the bias, but foundation paper solves that. I hope you'll love it, too.
I just finished a top made of 4,608 HSTs - I used Edyta Sitar's foundation papers because they're longer and they fit onto the long edge of fat quarters, but it's the same idea. There's a picture of my quilt in my photos - it's called "Cherry Cordials"
HSTs don't scare me any more! Have fun with it! 👍

I have some QST grids printed, but I am having a brain block as far as cutting the triangles. Grands are here for remote learning...I will try again this evening!

I'll bet you've got it all figured out, now - the directions make it seem more complicated than it is, I think. And who can concentrate with grandbabies around to fuss over? 🥰
I just finished my first feathered star last month - it was the last piece in a quilt that had been sitting here for years in pieces, waiting for me to tackle that center. It was a BOM Block Party series with Eleanor Burns that turned into the book, "All Star Quilts."
I kept a photo album of the process on flickr - Triangulations figures heavily into those pictures, HSTs and QSTs! 😄 Triangulations and starch - man, I starched every scrap into submission on that quilt! https://www.flickr.com/photos/thepol...h/13310766703/
I didn't get pictures of the final assembly and feathered star, but I'll probably take a lot of pictures when it's quilted.
Hope to see yours, too!

Your photo album is wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
I have my double feathered star completed...I thought I wanted to do a twisting ribbon border,which is made with quarter square triangles on one side of the block and a HST on the other side. I know I am mixing up names...I did figure it out, but now I think I may be headed in a different direction with the borders. Haha. I ordered some fabric, so I have a few days to think about it.

I'm so glad you posted this on the main board too, where it caught my attention. I just love your block! Now, I want to try it, too - this board is dangerous, sometimes! 😄
That twisted ribbon border sounds interesting, too.

Also quarter square triangles and flying geese. It made making 1/2 HST very easy and accurate got me!
