On edit (of my own thread!). I had a 2nd cuppa coffee and sat and looked at this pattern a long time. Finally figured out......I used little pieces of post-it-notes on the triangle ruler and marked exactly the triangle the pattern has. I then marked my other ruler for the square. I cut out some more muslin......I have a perfect 8 1/2" square -- to equal 8" square when completed. YAAAAY! So, given that I hate using templates, I will not cut out all the fabric using this post-it-note idea that I read somewhere!!!! I'm a happy quilter! :mrgreen:
