Riley Blake Triangle-In-A-Square Quilt 3

What Is Being Made

The Riley Blake Triangle-In-A-Square Quilt 3 is a finished quilt measuring 68" x 76", designed by Gerri Robinson of Planted Seed Designs. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a large bed-sized quilt using the triangle-in-a-square piecing technique combined with the Gem Stones Bright Collection fabrics from Riley Blake Designs.

Quilting Techniques Used

This quilt employs the triangle-in-a-square technique as its primary construction method. This technique involves creating square blocks by combining triangular pieces with square elements to form a cohesive geometric design. The pattern requires the use of the Planted Seed Designs Triangle-in-a-Square Tool, a specialized quilting ruler designed to simplify the accurate cutting and assembly of these geometric units. The quilt construction involves piecing multiple fabric components together in a structured layout to achieve the finished 68" x 76" dimensions.

Stitches and Piecing Methods

The quilt is constructed using piecing, the fundamental quilting technique where cut fabric pieces are sewn together with precise seams to form larger units and blocks. The pattern involves cutting and assembling triangular side pieces, squares, and rectangles that are then joined to create the overall quilt top design.

Materials Required

• Fabric: 4-3/8 yards of Riley Blake Confetti Cotton in Cloud (C120-Cloud) for the background, plus 3/8 yard each from nine assorted Gem Stones Bright Collection prints including Bahama Blue, Blizzard Blue, Lagoon Blue, Purple Heart, Spring Green, Dreamsicle, Violets are Blue, Pretty Flamingo, and Orange Glow
• Specialized Tool: Planted Seed Designs Triangle-in-a-Square Tool for accurate cutting and piecing
• Cutting Requirements: The pattern involves cutting 18 strips at 4-1/2" width of fabric, 68 squares at 4-1/2", and 94 rectangles at 2-1/2" x 4-1/2", along with 208 pairs of side triangles from the background fabric

Design Details

This pattern showcases a sophisticated use of color through the nine assorted prints from the Gem Stones Bright Collection, creating visual interest and depth within the triangle-in-a-square block structure. The combination of the neutral Cloud background fabric with the vibrant print selections allows the geometric piecing technique to take center stage while maintaining excellent color contrast throughout the finished quilt.
