Browngirl, lay your 3 3/4 block on your ruler. Count the inches going accross the diagonal of your block and you will get 4 inches.
Cut you block at four inches and then cut across the diagonal for two tri's.
cut from paper to make sure first.....mark your new tri's in the center, mark you block in the center and match the two and sew. Be careful and pin so as not to stretch the diagonal tri...sew the tri's on the block side if you are not experience with diagonals..
