Is that what you wanted?
I found that info thanks, but, I have a centre square and need to add the half square triangles to it to make the full-sized square. I will measure my centre square, decide what size I really want it to be and then guesstimate how large I need the half-square triangles to be and then add a couple of inches. I'd rather trim than be too small and I have plenty of the red I want to use. See what fun you can have when you adapt a pattern?
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
