Helper:
If you'd like to selectively cut 60° triangles for the Argyle
Diamonds, Hexagon Star, or other 60° triangle designs, as
detailed in "Stack-n-Whackier Quilts," you can download
a
PDF file for Triangle Viewing Templates. (12K) The motifs visible inside the dashed
seamlines will appear in your finished block.
You will need Acrobat Reader to view the file. If you don't already
have a version of this common and very useful program, a free
download is available from Adobe. |
