A few years back, when I was originally creating the Pinwheel Pattern. I needed an easy way to fit more triangles into a smaller space... and the 'Prism' Fold was born!
This fold will give you an easy way to create more narrow triangles, than the more traditional Basic Triangle Fold does... but, what's even better, is that you can adjust the width of your Prism triangles, depending on the pattern you're using.
This short video will show you what I mean. 🙂
You'll find this fold used in these patterns...
The Pinwheel Pattern
The Snowflake Pattern
The Kaleidoscope Pattern
The Bethlehem Star Pattern
The Woven Window Pattern
The Elf Hat Pattern
The Prairie Pinwheel Pattern
The Flurry Pattern
The North Star Pattern
Also Used in Some Crown Ornaments
The Flurry and the Bethlehem Star are on my list of patterns to purchase. What sizes are the pieces used? And what’s going to be used in August 2021 ornament?
I haven’t purchased too many patterns yet, but does every pattern, or almost every pattern, use 2×3″ fabric pieces? I’d like to precut a lot of fabric
Hi Christine, many of our patterns do you 2×3 fabric but not all. What you can do is email us a list of patterns you’d like to purchase and we’d be happy to let you know the size of the fabric in each pattern. If you’d like. Thanks! https://ornamentgirls.com/contact/
Is it ok if the fabric from the first fold over, folds again when you make the right hand fold? This is what happens if I want a small triangle.

Rhonda, what browser are you using?
Great video. Very clear directions. Thank you for this tutorial!
Thank you I understand
I’ve made quilted ornaments but only know the one pattern, where can I find instructions for the other ones. They’re all beautiful.
Hi Kimberly, you can click on your Pattern Library here: https://ornamentgirls.com/ebooks/ and then either OG Club eBooks or Classic patterns to find the patterns you’ve purchased. If you haven’t purchased any patterns, you can find them in our supply shop here: https://theornamentgirl.com/market/product-category/patterns/
Beautiful. Question, what size rectangle did you cut to make the Prism Fold.
Maryann, I used a 2 x 3″ rectangle… but you could do this with various sizes, depending on the pattern you’re making. 🙂
Great. Thank you!
