Oh, I know I could just make a block and then measure it's diagonal, but was hoping there is some easy method to figure it out on paper. I'm wanting to make a quilt with sashed blocks on point and want it to end up a certain size, but don't exactly know how big to make my blocks and sashing. Any help would be appreciated.
.... or instead of "making" it, you could cut draw it on paper.
Don't forget the seam allowances!
