How do I make these OBW's into square blocks?
I purchased a border strip fabric that I thought would make a pretty OBW. I've color copied it and played around a bit. The actual color is quite a bit brighter (the copier washed it out some).
The floral print isn't really big enough to make it spill from one triangle to the other so I am thinking this would look better if I finish each 6 sided block into a square and then sash it with matching coral fabric as cornerstones. I can't figure out what I would cut (some type of a non 60 degree triangle I am guessing, and how to figure out the size) to make these square--?
The triangles will finish at 3 inches (as I've cut them here) so the OBW on it's own will finish at 6 inches across. If I would like a say 8 inch finished square block what would it do?
