Thread: 1/4 square triangles from charm squares -- slick!

I saw this on Jenny Doan long time ago but no one could explain, so I could understand, what size the squares should be cut to make a particular size half-square triangle. If anyone of you can, please post. Thanks.

I use paper to cut my squares until I got the right size that I needed

I wanted to make a 12 inch square to use for the supersize Shoo-fly block quilt
I cut an 18 inch square I got a little over 12 inch square triangles
That I trimmed to 12inches I got four out of that one block

Interesting, I plan on giving it a try.

Never seen this technique will have to try it have a Halloween charm pack maybe this would work out great with a solid color charm square paired with a print. Thanks for sharing the link
