Use the ruler to trace several triangles onto each color of fabric.

Use your scissors (or a rotary cutter if you prefer) to cut the triangles out. You may be tempted to skip the straight edges at the corners but don’t. These flat points are important for putting the triangles together down the line.

With your straight clear ruler mark a 1/4″ seam around all three edges of the triangles.

Line up two of the triangles right sides together. The top of the flat edge should meet with the top of the flat edge on the opposite piece. You want to line up the pencil line you made, not the edges of the fabric. Place a pin through to ensure that you have the lines matched up. (See the video tutorial for more tips on lining up the triangles.)

Add the next triangle. The tip of the flat edge should meet the point of the already sewn triangle. There will be overlap at the point of the triangle. This will give you a 1/4″ allowance for attaching your rows together.

Straighten your long edges by trimming to 1/4″ off each point of the triangle. Then sew the two strips in together.

Use your ruler and rotary cutter to cut the half off of the two sides so you have a rectangle. Finish by backing with another piece of fabric and adding batting. You can bind as you would a quilt or place the right sides together and leave an opening to turn the piece out. Then top-stitch around the edges to close.
