All the Diagonals quilt pattern by Melanie of @mellmeyer.
Introduction
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 different sizes, 5.0″ finished and 6.5″ finished. Also included are full quilt instructions – including fabric requirements and cutting tables – for five different quilt versions: Baby, Baby II, Big Twin, Throw and Twin. (see additional pictures)
But I am sure you can come up with many others.
Also included are coloring sheets for all the different versions and a fabric/color chart.
As extras you will receive links to:
- .jpg coloring sheets if you prefer digital coloring.
- Fabric sorting pages. A download that can help you with sorting your fabric pieces.
Skill Level
Confident beginner | Pattern assumes that the quilter has basic piecing and quilting knowledge.
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 confident beginner.
