Does anyone know how to determine the size of the square required to make the inset triangles on the edge of a quilt? The quilt is put together on point, so I need triangles to fill in the edges and the 4 corners of the quilt. If I use the same size as the quilt blocks, and cut them on the diagonal, they are too small.

There's a ruler for that. Seriously. It totally takes any figuring out of setting triangles! Plus you cut them from strips instead of cutting huge squares on the diagonal. It's called a setting triangle ruler.
