Does it not fit after you do a 1/4 seam allowance on each side of the middle triangle or is that factored in? I am not sure what I am saying is clear. There are NO INSTRUCTIONS on this so I am assuming I just cut the fabric pieces out using the numbered pattern pieces and make them whatever size the paper has and then look at the block and figure out what goes where?
Hi mona, if you look at the beginning of the pattern, the author gives you a link to her practice square that she recommends to do first. I did that the first time and caught on right away.
For more info here is a link to another tutorial about how to do paper piecing.

And here is another one.

I hope this helps you understand how to use the patterns. Have fun! Once you get started you will see it is fun and not hard at all !
