How it’s built
Every triangle has three 60° angles. Rows are made of alternating “up” and “down” triangles, then sewn together.
Here, 16 pyramids and 16 in-between triangles fill the block.
Sewing tips
- Cut strips, then cut the triangles with a 60° ruler or a 1:1 template.
- Two sides of each triangle are on the bias: handle them gently and don’t stretch them when pressing.
