Triangle of Spools Block Tutorial for
52 Twisted Traditional Block Quilt Along
Finished Block Size – 8” x 8”
I twisted the traditional block ‘Triangle of Squares”, 1187b, for our next block. By now you know I have a thing for spools of thread so I figured this is another fun optionCutting Instructions

Fabric A (brown) 2– 4 1/2” squares
Fabric B (light pink) 2 – 4 1/2” squares
Fabric C (striped (color of your thread)) 4 – 2.5” squares
Fabric D (light purple – I would go with something blends well with Fabric B) 4 – 2” squares
Directions

Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of the 8 squares of Fabric C and Fabric D.

Lay out one of each Fabric C and Fabric D onto both of Fabric A squares as shown above. Right sides together.

Lay out one of each Fabric C and Fabric D onto both of Fabric B squares as shown above. Right sides together.

Stitch along the diagonal lines.

Do this on all four blocks.

Trim the outer corners off. Iron the corners outward to make a new 4.5” square.

Layout your four blocks in the orientation I show above. Sew them together to make your block.

And there you have it – the Triangle of Spools Block is done! Thanks for following along and I hope you enjoyed this block tutorial!
