I'm sorry thought that might have been confusing. I'm not talking about making the pinwheel block. When taking any block and adding triangles to the sides to make it a larger square. How do I measure the triangles on the outside of the block. Confusing again? Sorry. :roll:

Sounds like you want the block on point similar to the quilt above.
Try this site for a good explanation.

See if that helps. If I am wrong again sorry just post again and we will figure it out.
Maybe if you told us the size you have and the size you want that would help.
:-D

Everyone should be almost finished unless you needed to make a lot more pinwheels.
Pictures please!!!

I hope this chart will be what you are looking for, it has really come in handy for me, and there are more helpful things at this web site too.

Say you have a 5 inch block and want to add triangles to make a bigger block, look under finished size go to 5" and go across to column Cut for QST which is 6 1//4 then cut this square from corner to corner making 4 trianges and sew onto your 5" square. Hope this helps

hi BettyB - love your quilt. Good things do come out of mistakes.

[quote=BettyB]Thank You I think this is what I need. I will keep this for future reference. I decided to do my quilt another way. Thanks again.

I am excited I have all my blocks finished. I stayed up late last night because I couldn't quilt. I wanted to get the first 2 blocks quilted, QAYG. I love it but am having so much trouble with the thread raveling on the fmq. Hopefully, I will have it finished by next week. Deadlines aren't for me to keep, it seems lately. :roll:

I am wondering what will we do next? This has been a fun challenge.
