Oh.
Maybe they were cut incorrectly - in terms of bias.
I've used those shapes in borders (diamond, larger triangle), but even if you did a strip, it would be bias all along the edge which would be a nightmare.
OTOH, going back to the LeMoyne star - the diagram below show how both those triangles could be used in the construction.
Although, again, huge bias issues all along the side/top/bottom edges.
The corners will be ok because the yellow will not have any bias on the outside.
I didn't check the measurements exactly, but they look like they'll fit. Yikes, let me go do that now.
