    Gosh, I've never done this myself. So I have no advice, no formula and no SIL to please. But I'll be glad to hear other people's advice, because I have several projects where I want to use this technique, and need to hear how to do it. Hope you guys are doing OK.

    I was taught to make the setting triangles slightly larger than my block; cut on the diagonal and trim as needed....haven't done it in a long time...will check out the url posted earlier

    Oh yes, the dreaded perfect SIL. You are so courageous and a sucker for punishment. LOL. I will read what others have to say because I have no formula. Good luck, oh brave one.
