Help! I followed the directions for half square triangles ie. adding 7/8 " to end square size.
I needed to end up with 2 1/2 " square. Cut 2 squares at 3 3/8 ". Sewed and cut, ironed. Square ended up 3". What did I do wrong.

Whatever you want your FINISHED size to be, add 7/8" to that measurement...example..if you want your squares to be 2" finished, cut size would be 2-7/8"...after sewing the triangles, the unit will measure 2-1/2", but after sewn into block, then it will be 2". Hope that helps.
