To make the A/C triangle I took 4" squares and cut them diagonally to make 4 pieces, then sewed the A and C pieces together on the short side. I used a 4 1/8" square of B cut in half. I even went back and cut new pieces and resewed them to make sure...still too small. Where am I missing something?

Here's the A piece cut in 4 pieces, then the A/C sewn together, then the final block with my 3 1/2" square ruler on top lined up on the diagonals.

I had the same issue I went back and cut mine at 4 1/2" . I did that for A/C triangle as well as the B and then squared them up to the 3.5".
