laugh yourself into Stitches* Triple Triangle Method Tutorial plus Math Chart
Start by making half square triangles using the half square triangle method. Or a solid square can
be used in place of a half square triangle. See Math Chart below.
Sew a half square triangle (or solid square) to a solid rectangle. Repeat for a total of 2. If using
half square triangles, watch placement of the light triangles.

Place these units right side together with half square triangles (or solid squares) on opposite ends.
Stitch together.
Once sewn together, make a clip close to the seam approximately half way between the half square
triangles (or solid squares).
Press the seam, half in one direction and half in the other direction. Make sure you press the seams
in the direction where you can see sewn intersections.

Your unit will now look like this:
On the wrong side of the unit, line up the 45 degree angle on your ruler with the top edge of the
unit. The ruler should go directly over the hst intersection as shown below and to the bottom
corner as indicated by my arrows. Now draw a line along your ruler’s edge.
Flip the unit around and line up the 45 degree angle the same as before and draw a second line.
With right sides together, place the pieced unit on top of a solid rectangle measuring the same
size as your pieced unit. Stitch together ON both of the drawn lines.
Once the unit is stitched together, cut apart between the stitched lines and trim the seams to a
1/4”. Press towards the solid triangle.

This method will yield 2 Triple Triangle Units.

The math chart reflects ‘solid’ corner squares. If half square triangles are desired, add 7/8” to
the corner square measurements below.
Example: One corner square cut 1-1/2” would be increased to 2-3/8”… yielding 2 half square
triangles.
