    Default Triangles from squares ...

    Major brain fade! I want to make (4) triangles by cutting diagonally both ways across 1 square.
    Formula, please?

    I saw a formula on Pinterest for setting triangles.
    (Finished Block size x 1.41) + 1.25
    That should give you the size of the square then cut diagonally both ways.

    Here's a chart if you don't want to do the math.
