9 The strips of triangles that go between the panels are made with foundation piecing. Make a plastic triangle using the foundation piecing template. Note: the template shows the cutting, not the sewing line. Use it to mark out triangles, making sure that the longest side of the triangle is either along the grain of the fabric or at right angles to it. You will need forty-eight triangles from the main background fabric and forty-eight from various red/pink scraps, using perhaps eight different fabrics. Place the triangles on a work top so they are arranged alternately, pink, background, pink, background, and so on.

10 There are three strips of triangles altogether. Trace the template for the strips three times on to paper. Using these paper templates, join the triangles into strips using foundation piecing – see Foundation Piecing Triangle Strips. There are thirty-two triangles in each strip.
