Halloween Baskets might be fun!!!
It has taken me some time to figure out why my screenshots were not showing up because they were too big. The answer is the iMac does screen shots with png at the
not jpg. I had to research how to convert them from png to jpg and bingo it now works. If you have a mac and want me to write up the steps let me know and I will post that.

I like to trim my triangles, dog ears, before I start the block. It lets me know if my size is accurate as I piece and I don't have to mark the center to line them up.

No, your measurements are off. Check the book. The large squares are 4.25".

There is a Topic--Basic Math for Quilters--with a link to info I have written about how to figure these things out. Find it here:

https://thequiltshow.com/forum/this-and-that-quilting-related/9068-basic-math-for-quilters

Hope that helps.
