Sides of triangles

[twiglet]

While decorating and sorting my sewing room I managed to lose a very useful tool. Its a sheet giving the size of the unknown sides of right angle triangles from tiny to quite big.

Does anyone know who makes this and then I can do a search and hopefully find another. Yes I know I can work it out myself but this was sooooo easy

Thanks

I have only found sites where you can plug in your information and they will give you the answer. I'd be interested to know if you find this 'list'.

Wendy,

I think you can find what you need at the following website:
http://www.victorianaquiltdesigns.co...rts/Charts.htm
Just scroll down to the bottom of the page, is the last one.

She has a Triangles & Setting Triangles Calculator that looks similar to the one on the link you posted. You can request it and the other charts she has available for free or since I have it already you can e-mail me and I'll forward it to you.

What do the columns that say cut for setting sides and corners mean? I've not heard that term.

Hi Wendy - I don't have the sheet to look at, but generarlly these terms are used for diagonally set quilts. The corner triangles are in the corners and the setting triangles are at the ends of the rows to make the quilt square. Corner triangles need to be half-square trianges and setting triangles have to be quarter-square trianges to get the straight of grain along the outside of the quilt.

You're welcome!

Thanks Nancy that explains why the calculations are smaller and larger, it makes sense now

Wendy, you might find this useful. I saved it to my desktop so that I would always have it. Margo passed on the link to me when I was doing the BOM last year. Bonnie Hunter's website is fabulous - you will spend lots of time browsing her wonderful scrap quilts.
