    Does anyone know how to measure for setting triangles when the angle of the triangle is not 90 degrees. I know how to do regular triangles but not this kind.

    I just make another block and cut off the extra. Which pattern or block type are you working on?

    I saw a Dripping diamonds pattern and the on point squares are cut at an angle. One angle is 60 degrees and the opposite angle is 120 degrees. It is a parallelogram.

    The triangles on the 4 corners is smaller than the blocks but the setting triangles on the sides of the quilt are larger.
