Block Size Question
#1
![Default](/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have a lot of triangles that I cut off larger pieces to make HST. I have sewn these smaller pieces together and I can trim them out to 1 3/4" to finish at 1 1/4". My question is......is a block that size easy to match up with other blocks? Or should I just trim them down to 1 1/2" for a 1" block? I am such a miser when it comes to waste of fabric.
Or I suppose I could just piece all these small HST together to make a doll quilt with pinwheels or something. Just wondering.

Usually blocks finish at round numbers. If you make them to do pinwheels, then if you used a background square, you would need to cut that at the same size the pinwheel blocks would be 2.5" finished.
