Making 4 patch with 2-1/2" blocks and I want to set them
 
I want to set the 4 patch of 2-1/2" blocks on point, so what size do I cut the set in triangles...I know somebody will tell me on here that's smarter than I am..
Thanks...

There really is no need to think about "math" for setting triangles!! Here is how I teach my classes. And this allows extra fabric along the edges to let the blocks "float" -- no losing any points! -- and extra for trimming the quilt before basting and quilting.

Thank you so much Jan. Your description is now hanging on my sewing room wall. Great information, and a problem that comes up frequently can now be displayed right in from of me. Love it!

Jan, this formula is just what the doctor ordered! Thanks for sharing your math brain.
