Thangles Candlemat Project with Valerie Nesbitt
Classes with Valerie Nesbitt • Educational, G, 13-Aug-2020
Half Square Triangle Patchwork Blocks the Easy Way
This workshop uses the thangles method of creating half square triangles from the same strip of fabric as you would cut the plain squares. So, no more worrying about maths and 3/8″ or 7/8″. Perfect, half square triangle patchwork units every time quick, easy and accurate.
Make a Candle Mat
The workshop creates a lovely little candle mat or table centrepiece with the slightly unusual octagon shape. The candle mat is available as a kit, in various colourways, which you can find on the shopping pages.
The 2″ finished size being used is perfect for use with any 2 1/2″ strip of fabric, i.e. jelly rolls.
More about Thangles
The thangles system is available in 16 finished sizes from 1/2″ up to 6″ and available upon request from Creative Quilting.
