QuiltnNan.... Should I make the squares for the triangles 4-1/2 and then cut them in half?

Reminds me of Weathervane block.

Quiltnnan was referring to each of the red and white corner units as 4". They are made up of two 2 1/2" squares ( finishes at 2") and two HST. To make two HST, cut squares (one red and one white) 1" larger than your finished size, which is 2". Draw a light diagonal line from corner to corner on the white square, put the red and white squares together, right sides facing. Now stitch 1/4" away from the drawn line on each side, cut on the drawn line, and press to the dark side. Since the HSTs are oversized, rotary cut to 2 1/2", with the drawn line on the 45 degree diagonal line of your ruler. Perfect every time. Welcome to the board. You will learn a lot here.

i make two at a time... the size for that is 4 7/8, but i cut them at 5", leaving square up/trimming room.
