How to Quilt Tuesday Thread – Make a Triangle Block

Last week we learned to use freezer paper and made a 4-patch quilt block, today let me share how to make a triangle quilt block.

Many quilt blocks start with squares and triangles and this is the way I learned to do they SO many years ago. Of course there are new methods, do and use what you like, you do YOU!
