Isometric (triangle) graph paper for quilting
Free printable isometric triangle graph paper for diamonds, tumbling blocks and EPP quilts. Choose triangle size; download PDF, PNG or SVG.
Paper & style
Print at 100% / Actual size, not “Fit to page”. Then measure the check ruler at the bottom of the sheet: if it is exactly 1 inch and 2 cm, your cells are true to size.
Isometric (triangle) graph paper
Every line runs at 0°, 60° or 120°, so triangles, diamonds and hexagons line up exactly. Print at actual size to plan English paper piecing with 60° diamonds or equilateral triangles.
For hexagon layouts, use hexagon graph paper.
How to use it
- Choose the triangle size (length of one side).
- Set the paper size and line colour.
- Download and print at 100%.
- Colour triangles, diamonds and hexagons to plan your design.
Questions
What is isometric graph paper used for in quilting?
Isometric graph paper is a grid of equilateral triangles. Two triangles make a 60° diamond and six make a hexagon, so it is ideal for planning tumbling blocks, stars, diamond and triangle quilts and English paper piecing layouts.
How do I draw tumbling blocks?
Colour three diamonds that meet at a point in a light, medium and dark fabric. The three diamonds form a hexagon that looks like a 3D cube.
What size should the triangles be?
Match the triangle side to the side length of your diamonds or triangles. A 1 inch triangle grid matches 1 inch 60° diamonds.
