Thanks in advance..
I can't find my notes, but think I started with 6" or 6-1/2" squares, drew a line diagonally and sewed 1/4" on either side, then cut down the middle. I had a couple that came out a little small, so I trimmed them down to 5-1/4" and they ended up 4-3/4" finished. Odd size I know, but I didn't want to cut them too small because I wasn't planning a border on this one. Try one w/scraps or paper and see how it works for you. I believe the basic formula is to add 7/8" I'm not a fan of cutting such measurements. I'd rather trim off a small amount and end up with a 1/4,1/2 or whole inch amount.
