Multiply the size HST you want (in your case, 2.5) times 2.25 and round up to the nearest whole number to get the size of your starting square. So 2.5" x 2.25 = 5.625 and round up to 6" to get your starting square. Sherrill, I think 6″ would work!

Can you tell math is NOT my forte? Thanks for the great idea. OK, so if you wanted 2 1/2″ tris, what size large square would you start with? 6, 7, 8? Can you tell math is NOT my forte?

All the years I watched my mom making quilts, I never saw her do this. Boy, she could have tripled her time easily. I gotta tell here about this even tho she doesn't quilt anymore. Thanks.
