Another question- 6 1/2" pinwheels

[Shirley]

Here I am with another question. ) I am going to make a quilt that calls for 6 1/2" pinwheels. What size squares to I need to start with using the method Jenny uses in her tutorial (sewing around the two stacked fabrics using 1/4 " seam, then cutting?)
Thanks for your help.

If you go the part of the forum called "Ask MSQC girls" and ask for the 1/2 square triangle conversion chart, they should be able to get it to you. One of the brainiacs figured out a lot of the measurements and compiled it for those of us who can't do math. Thanks goodness!!!

There is a table on this blog post but it doesn't cover 6 1/2". I did some quick maths and I think you need to start with 5 1/2" squares.

I got 5 1/2" as well...since it says to raise to the next 1/8"...I hate all those tiny hashmarks on my rulers LOL...
