Amelia 9 36 tri p2p $13.00 USD
Amelia required a design for some 6x6 grid blocks - or a 36 patch block. The blocks were set on point and alternating. The fastest way to quilt these is with p2p triangles - so this is one the the designs which resulted.
This block also sits really well on 3x3 or 9 patch blocks as well as quarter square triangle ones.
The numbers 9 and 36 in the name are meant as an 'aide de memoire'.
The pattern is very useful as an all-over custom quilting design - being quickly and accurately registered and then being able to be sewn continuously over large areas.
Design Features
- four clicks and you're in - as per usual with squares, but the great thing is that if squares are connected you can then advance to the next one without any tie-offs.

Tips & Info
- in order for the repeating pattern to look good, these p2p triangles have quite a tight margin around them.
- even though these are right angle triangles - I would still always control the height: decide how high you want it to stitch out at (audition and read off the screen) and then turn the freeze aspect off. This controls for any variation in piecing or stretching.
