I made blocks 12". I have been moving them on the design wall and like the look of putting them on point. My problem is . . . for the life of me I can't wrap my head around how to make a square out of the block now it is on point. I know! duh. any help would be apprecciated. I tried making triangles for each corner. that was a bust.

Formula = finsihed block size (12) x 1.414 + 1.25, then round up to the nearest quarter inch.
cut squares 18.25 inches, then cut twice on the diagonal for your side triangles.
This is exactly as Kat Sews says.
