Default Need some help in calculating please!

I need to make some blocks similar to the below - finished size 10 X 16 so unfinished 10-1/2 x 16-1/2. I would like to make these similar to the technique in HST's where you align 2 (right sides together) up, seam diagonally corner to corner 1/4 " on each side of the center of that, then cut on the center line and end up with 2 units. BUT I don't know how to calculate what sizes my initial cuts should be to get the result I need.
Can one of you please help me ? Ultimately I just need to know the dimensions but the formula would be awesome
Thanks in advance.

(This is a rough sketch, i know I probably didn't get all my lines in exactly the right spot but I hope you get the idea )
