If you are setting 5" charm squares on point, your finished squares will be 4.5". The side triangles are quarter square triangles. Start with a 7 5/8 square and cut each twice diagonally to create four quarter square triangles from each square. The corner triangles are half squares. Cut two 4 1/8 squares. Cut each once diagonally to make your four corner squares.Here's a good resource for how to cut these triangles, including a chart.
