    When setting blocks on point I pin them on the design wall and measure the size of the triangle. If you cut them too big your block will "float" which I like the looks of, or if you cut them the same size as the 1st block they will fit right in. The corners are made the same way but are squares cut in half.

    you don't have to rip all your rows out - just an inch maybe - that way you can sew on the triangle, then sew the rest of the seam...

    I hope you got to see what JJs wrote: don't rip out all the rows!!! Rip out just enough to sew those triangles on then finish the row.

    Ok I will try that and see if it works I am sure that it will. I haven't been able to get back to sewing due to hurting my back over the weekend, but am hoping to get back in there today hopefully. Thanks so very much to all of you for all of your help.
