what size do I cut??
#1
I want the finished size of a hst to be 2 1/2 inches. I though by cutting 3 inch squares then in half would work, but the pieces are looking tiny to me. Do I need to make them bigger? How much bigger? For this quilt I can cut down the rectangles and add extra borders. It's a quilt my brother designed and it looked kind of easy once I fixed it.

The "magic number" for half-square triangles is 7/8". You simply add 7/8" to the required FINISHED SIZE of your half-square triangle unit.
