Okay, Don-isewman, I just finished make 140 blocks which each required 4 triangle squares each being 3 1/2" when squared up. Here is how I did it. I cut two 8" squares and laid them on top of each other right sides together. Then i drew lines in the middle of each side to form the box, see my picture. Then I sewed 1/4 inch from each of the drawn lines on each side. I just started sewing around and I did put pins where the lines were to hold them in place. Cut down the middle of the block both ways and then cut on the middle line of each of the four blocks. Ended up with 8 blocks when I was done. I pressed them open, trimmed to 3 1/2" as necessary and the second picture showed just a small stack and the third picture shows all of them done and ready to start sewing. Hope this helps.
