Tipsy Triangle Christmas
Finished Size 68 x 76
Pattern design based on original YouTube video:
The Falling Triangles Quilt: Easy Quilting with Layer Cakes! By Missouri Star Quilt Company
Cutting Redesign By Linda Dufresne ‐ HobbyStash.com
(The original pattern design results in blocks with fabric bias on outer edge. Having tried this technique in the past
and been very unhappy with the results, I’ve recalculated fabric requirements based on half‐square triangles pieced
in the traditional fashion. I also wanted to reduce the size of the quilt down to throw size.)

Making Half Square Triangles
Placing a 7‐inch square of background and a 7‐inch square of Fabric B, C, D, E, F, G, H, or I right‐sides
together, draw a diagonal line corner to corner on the back of one. Then stitch ¼ inch on each side of
the drawn line.
Figure 3: Making Half‐Square Triangle Block
If using the Quilt in a Day Triangle square up ruler, place the 6 ½ inch line on the top seam line (NOT the
drawn line, which is the cutting line to separate the two blocks). Trim off excess fabric on the edges
above the 6 ½ inch line (top left and top right). Flip the block so that the bottom stitch line is the top
stitch line. Place the 6 ½ inch ruler line on the stitch line. Trim off excess fabric on the edges above the 6
½ inch line (top left and top right). Cut apart the two blocks on the drawn line and press open. The
result is 2 half‐square triangles sized at 6½ inches.

Piecing/Assembly
Following the diagram in Figure 1 on Page 2, piece together each block, ironing each seam towards the
dark triangle. Make 72 blocks….12 from each fat quarter.
Figure 4: Assembling Rows
Using the image on Page 4 as a guide, arrange the blocks into 9 rows of 8 blocks. Sew together. For the border, piece together strips to make 2 border strips 72½ inches long. Piece together the remaining strips to make 2 border strips 68½ inches long. Sew the 72½ inch strips to left and right sides of the quilt top. Sew the 68½ inch strips to the remaining top and bottom sides.
