Quiltnnan was referring to each of the red and white corner units as 4". They are made up of two 2 1/2" squares ( finishes at 2") and two HST. To make two HST, cut squares (one red and one white) 1" larger than your finished size, which is 2". Draw a light diagonal line from corner to corner on the white square, put the red and white squares together, right sides facing. Now stitch 1/4" away from the drawn line on each side, cut on the drawn line, and press to the dark side. Since the HSTs are oversized, rotary cut to 2 1/2", with the drawn line on the 45 degree diagonal line of your ruler. Perfect every time. Welcome to the board. You will learn a lot here.
