    To get the 4 1/2 inch square I would cut pieces 2 inch and 2 3/8 inches for the diagonals ??? I cant figure out the numbers for a true 4 inch...

    OK what size squares do I start with to get a 4 inch square???

    2" squares will make a 4 1/2" unfinished friendship star. I send out free templates if you want to use a template to cut your squares.

    I also have a tutorial for making easy HSTs if you want.
    http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-37915-1.htm

    Or you can use a 1 1/2" template and make an ohio star.
    4 rows with 4 blocks in each row will make a 4 1/2" unfinished quilt block.

    I can not think today ,,,what if I wanted to make the star portion a blue and white pinwheel to finish at 4 inches square what size are the starting squares???
    In order to get the stripes to align with the square I really need to end with an even number.
