I have a question. I have a pattern that calls for a 2 7/8 square which I want to cut in half and use two different colors. If I were just doing it all in one color and not cutting, it would be 3 3/8 square to accommodate for the 1/4 seam.
What size do I now need to make it to accommodate the seem where I cut it diagonally and it becomes triangles? I don't know how to figure this out.
I would love to have an explanation/formula in case I decide to do this with other size blocks in the future.
I don't have EQ any version right now.
I would appreciate some help with this one and will look into getting EQ.

I print them out as a foundation block, and because these are small enough I checked the box "print as many as fit" in options and I can get two rows of blocks per page.


You can do this in any of the EQ programs
