What are Thangles?

Video Transcript

JEANETTE WHITE: Hi. I'm Jeanette White for Expert Village and Piper's Quilts & Comforts located in Salt Lake City in Sugarhouse. Today, we're going to be talking about half square triangles. You can see here on this little wall hanging, we have a pinwheel. And it's accomplished by doing half square triangles as is about 85 percent of quilting. Half square triangles can be very problematic. We have another example here of another pinwheel and the alternating triangles have been pieced here, here and here, that give it kind of a focal point in the middle. But these half square triangles are stitched together along this line which is a diagonal bias line and the property of that grain is that it stretches. The problem is usually, the points here and here don't line up. When they do, they're beautiful, and when they don't, then they're very problematic, pesky problem. So today, we're going to be doing thangles which is going to cure that problem and make it really easy for you to do.
