Thanks, Just helping a fellow quilter make a block that she was confused about. I thought it would be easier to do it this way than send photos via email, which would each have to be opened, downloaded, etc.

Also can do it this way - I hate working with triangles and try to make as few as possible.

I just make the Square in Square center slightly larger than needed and trim down. By cutting the triangles as shown, your finished corner has no bias edge.

That really makes it look easy. I'm going to try it! You've given me courage.

janetter 08-22-2011 05:08 PM

Great Tut, thanks looks so easy this way

QuiltingSue 08-22-2011 06:22 PM

This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to determine what size to cut the larger square so that when you cut it on the diagonal, it fits the smaller square. For instance, if you are working with a 3-1/2 inch square, what size would you cut the other square so that the half squares would be the right size?

lizzy 08-23-2011 03:21 AM

Thank you so much for the pictures and tutorial. :-D
