Hi Brenda, no I don't mind at all; and I feel flattered that you even asked me. I copied it myself from a picture, with no directions; so I will share with you what I did.
For the triangles (in the hour glass block), I started with 5 inch squares to make half triangle squares. THe white squares are 4 inches (or 4.5 unfinished). So when you put them together, the larger blocks are 8 inches total.
The larger triangles come from 9 inch squares.
I am sure there are shortcuts to make these blocks, but I didn't know how, so I probably did it the hard way.
I don't know if my explanations are clear enough.
Let me know if you have any question.
Thank you,
