Have been following the discussion about half-square triangles -
Some of us just cut the squares slightly bigger and then trim them down after sewing.
Now with the quarter squar triangles -
The traditional wisdom is to add 1 1/4 inches to a square and then to cut it diagonally both ways.
Now I'm wondering if I would have slightly better luck if I cut my original square 1 1/2 inches larger, and then trim the finished square down after sewing and pressing.
The "scant" quarter inch thing doesn't seem to work very well for me...
(I guess I could just go and try it and see if it works, huh?)
