Use the 1-1\2 in strips. This will give you a 2-1\2 block.

I have to cut some quarter square triangles and I thought that instead of cutting a square, marking the diagonal, then cutting and sewing, I might be able to use a triangle ruler. I have both the E Z companion angle ruler and the tri-tool. I have to have a finished block of 2 1/2 inches made up of 4 quarter square triangles. So, my question is: which ruler should I use and what size do I cut each triangle. I could do the square and diagonal method but after trying to figure out the rulers, I am determined to get an answer. (I have heard that stubbornness can be a virtue). I have done this on paper and it seems to me that I should use a strip of fabric 1 1/2 inches wide. However, when I put this under the companion angle the side measurement is at 2, which apparently is the size of the finished base. To me, the base should be 2 1/2 inches. As I say, I can do it by cutting squares but now I am just stubborn enough to figure this out. Any help would really be appreciated.
