Looking for a printalble chart showing how long strips should be for a tilting block. Anyone seenn one online?

Of course it would depend on what size block you were making. large blocks mean longer strips to start with. Wish I could be of some help, but I've just always cut a base from muslin and sew my strips to that, but now I'm curious too and will have to "google" that.

Not sure what type of chart you need. What is a tilting block? Block on point?

Do you have a picture to post that will help us?

Take a quilt block. Cut rectangle corner to corner which will give you two triangles. Do thils twice whilch will give you what you need to make the block tilt. Retangle needs to be longer than the quilt block and that's the math I'm having trouble with. Sorry but couldn't resize the block I found on line

I would lay the block on the square as I wanted it to be. Mark around it then cut out the angles leaving a same allowance.

Janey, this is exactly what I need. TYSM for helping me and maybe other quilters, too. Saved it, printed it, and now it's living in my folder with other short cuts. Again..TYSM!!!
