I had no idea that quilting would bring me to so many story problems in a math class.
i want to make HST that measure 2 3/4 inches. I want to use the method of sewing all around 2 squares and cutting through the center to get 4 HST.
how big do the squares need to be?
the back story is that I want to try my hero, Jenny of Missouri quilts, hunters star quilt, and her lovely video does not spell this out, and I am a nervous nelly beginner. By trial and error I have created 8 too small HST, oops, and 4 much too large, salvageable, but wasteful.

( now in my 50's I would like to go sit in on middle school math classes. I find that I would now very much like to know some theorems!)
