How to Make a Low Volume Scrappy Triangle Quilt Block

April 14, 2021 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

This post is for all of us scrap-loving quilters and I am a proud member of that club. As soon as I saw this charming block from Sew Me Something Good, I knew I would be writing about it.

Not only does this block incorporate the trendy low-volume look, it uses up small scraps. Seriously, what could be better?!

To make her 12 inch block, the author uses various small squares and rectangles of fabric. The largest cut is three inches square so that gives you an idea of how many scraps are in this block.

With all of the triangles set against rectangles, this technique makes the block twinkle and gives it plenty of movement.

I have a hunch I will be digging into my scrap bins shortly to make this fun block. And if you are interested, I added up all of the different scraps and there are 48 used in this block! Wowsa, that is my kind of scrappy goodness.

Book Review – Quilts in Italy

While I’m captivated by the allure of “Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in Italy,” and its promise of 20 stunning designs inspired by the picturesque Cinque Terre, I’ve resolved to exercise some restraint in my book-buying habits next year. As much as I’m drawn to the richly colored villages and jewel-like glimpses of the Mediterranean that serve as Kaffe’s muse, I recognize the need to curb my enthusiasm for new additions to my quilt book collection. SO for this book review, full disclosure: I have not purchased it.

With its classic and new fabrics from the Kaffe Fassett Fabric Collection, this book offers a tempting array of designs, from the traditional elegance of the Lacy Log Cabin to the bold and contrasting colors of Scaffold. The almost dizzying complexity of Chiaroscuro promises to be a captivating challenge for any quilting enthusiast.

I’m determined to exercise self-control and prioritize the quilting books I already own. While “Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in Italy” may beckon with its promise of creative inspiration, I’m committed to making thoughtful choices about my book purchases in the coming year. After all, a little restraint now will only enhance the joy of discovering new quilting treasures in the future. Stay tuned for MORE book review in 2025
