Figuring 1/4 Sq Triangle Size Help Please
I'm finally starting to sew again, making an applique butterfly baby quilt.
The directions however are kind of strange... Was to cut 10 1/2" strips, then making 10 1/2" squares, and then getting 4 triangles (template) out of one square - but the template that was included is 6 3/4" on the short side - no way could you get 4 of them from one 10 1/2" square. ??
The pattern is 4 1/4 square triangles sewn together to make one block, and then the applique square block is 9 3/4" square.
So I need to know the size I need of a 1/4 square triangle (using 4 of them) that be the same size as a 9 3/4" block. I just can't cut the 10 1/2" square into 4 triangles, or they wouldn't be big enough!
I hope this is clear enough for someone to figure out what I'm asking! lol!!!!
