that will leave you with 2 large triangles having an entire light color square with 2 dark triangles attached to it.
you would have to make 2 of these 4 square units to cut in half yielding four 2 color corner triangles.
I might have not had enough coffee this AM. But here is my concern about this method.
Yes you can do them that way - but what you suggest, I think will "loose" the seam allowance. The diagonal cut will be at the corner of the light and will not leave you a seam allowance. To use this method, you would need to keep the light squares the right size and make the dark squares larger - something like the following picture. Then you would need the trim the edges and cut on the diagonal. The second picture is what it would look like cut and then trimmed. Which it what you are looking for I think . . .
Ok does this make ANY sense?? or do I need more coffee??
