I do not like to cut triangles! How's that for plain, simple and the truth??? But I love to make, sew and cut the half square triangles. Could someone, for me, tell me how to know. eg., if I am going to make a half square triangle for a 12" block and need 3-1/2" squares, when they are sewn together, cut and pressed they will come out at 3". Ok, I got that! Right? I can't for the life of me figure out how to come up with the measurements for a 6" block, 8" block, 10" block. What size do I make the squares for those size blocks? I sound like a complete idiot, but I just cannot figure it out! HELP! Edie

PS - For all you Louisianians, Minnesota has arrived! Go Vikes!!!!!!!
