All the Diagonals

15.00 $

Description

All the Diagonals is my quilty take on the mathematical question called „Polygon Division Problem“: „In how many ways can a regular polygon be divided into triangles if different orientations are counted separately?“

As hexagons are already a very common quilt block form, I decided on using a heptagon. And the answer for this seven sided polygon is: 42. You might notice that this number is also famous elsewhere :)

The next polygon, the eight sided octagon, has already 132 different orientations!

Content

This pattern includes 42 templates in two colorways “Original” and “Rainbow” – each in two different
sizes, 5″ finished and 6 ½” finished. This leaves you with many options for making the pattern your
own.

I have included instructions for a few layouts, but I am sure you can come up with many others.

Also included are coloring sheets and a fabric/color chart.

Skill Level

Confident Beginner | The blocks in this template are sewn with the technique called foundation paper piecing (FPP). If you prefer, you can also use freezer paper piecing which is a subset of that technique. Basic knowledge of this method and of basic quilting techniques are assumed.

That being said, the FPP skills needed for the construction of the blocks are very basic. There are
no sections to be connected and no tiny pieces. So even though the pattern uses an advanced
technique it can still be accomplished by a confi dent beginner.
