Help! :?: I am trying to make the Shooting Squares pattern from Quiltercache.com LINK. The instructions say to cut 4 4" x 9" strips out of 4 diff fabrics, and out of Color 5 cut 3"x15" strips. Out of the 1st 4 colors, you cut a triangle and a square according to the template. Then out of Color 5, you cut 4 triangles out of the 3"x15" strip -- Both the triangles and the square are to be cut from the template. WELL, the template for the triangle is BIGGER than 3"!!!! In fact both templates are odd sizes.

Thank goodness I haven't cut the fabric yet (trying it with muslim first)....what do you recommend I do? What size should I cut them to get an 8" block???? I really don't want to do a "template" thing -- would rather cut the square 4" but I don't know what to do with the triangle.

thanks in advance..
