I did consider the FG option, but I didn't want that seam in half my triangles. It seems like the math would be the same, but it's the triangles that are throwing me off. I want my triangles to finish 6" on the long side and 3" high. Can I just cut squares 6.5", then cut them both ways diagonally? Why is this giving me such problems? If I ever do another medallion quilt every square inch will be planned before I cut the first thread!
