So as long as I trim down the 10" side to make it a square, it should work. Then I just cut the square on the diagonal right?
I can't find a free pattern online anywhere...I want to be sure before I start cutting up fabric and wasting it!

Yes, trim your 10" side down to 8 1/2" and then cut diagonally. It's the same as 4 strips of 2 1/2" fabric sewn together. (Which unfinished is 10").Quote:

you should try it out with some scraps before using your good fabric on it. I think whether or not it works depends on how you are cutting it.
I have 2 quilts made with strip sets and cut into triangles like you diagrammed. After piecing the strips, cutting into triangles and sewing the blocks together, I cut them down to 8-1/2" square. The diagonal edge of the widest triangle cut from the strip set is just a tad over 11" finished, so it would have had to been 11-1/2" unfinished to get my 8" finished square. If you want to use your layer cake, you should probably plan on your finished blocks being a bit smaller, maybe 6" or 7" finished or so.
This collection looks like last years Dogwood Trails which I adored and made a beautiful quilt using,!
If you can find my original post I gave detailed instructions on how to make this quilt.Quote:
