I am planning a quilt that will be my first on-point setting. My quilt blocks will be 3 inches finished. I found a few sites that give formulas or charts for the size of triangles to cut.

For the corners of the quilt I found that I need to cut two 3 inch square in half diagonally. For each of the rows, I need to use 1/4 of a triangle from a 5 1/2 inch square. Do these measurements sound right??

Finally, my biggest question is if you recommend cutting the setting triangles the exact size (so the measurements I listed above) or do you like over-sizing them? If you use over-sized, how difficult is it to cut down to size afterwards (do you do that before quilting or after quilting??)?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
