Sorry, but I'm a little confused for template #8 in block number 3. What am I supposed to cut it at?

For T # 8 cut a square 3 7/8" then cut in half diagonally. these are correct sizes from the templates.
Please note that you can increase these sizes by a 1/16 of an inch. I find it just makes the finished piece more true to size after the joining, pressing, wobbly seams, etc. You can always trim. you can't add a piece. Anne

So much for my intentions of hand piecing this is so much easier, thanks Honchey I really appreciate your willingness to do this.
