OK, so my first top (and back) are done and will be at the long armer on Monday. Of course we all know we can't just stop at one. That's why we are all here; we are addicts.

I want to make a 30-60-90 triangle quilt. The pattern is all over the place. BY match, the 2 side should be x and 2x with the hypotenuse being 3^(1/2)*x. Sounds great EXCEPT for seam allowance. Anybody done this before or similar? What is throwing me is the points coming together.

For the math impaired, Pythagoreus did the hard part for us. A 30 60 90 triangle is a right triangle with one side one length, the other side twice that length and the hypotenuse (the longest side and opposite the right angle) being the square root of 3 times the short side.

In my head, In a 6" sq block, I can cut 4 30 60 90 triangles. The problem is that there is no allowance for the 1/4" seam. By doing so, what is the easiest quickest way of pounding out some triangles?
