Jayne, not entirely sure what you need but did you have a look at the diagonal granny square pattern? Perhaps that will be more helpful
here’s the link

Hi, Love the pattern but I am in the same boat. I would do it this way but it wouldn’t match the rest of the squares. I guess you haven’t found a pattern to do one like that. I have tried to make a square the way they say too and without the visual aid I just can’t get mine to look as nice as theirs.
sorry . . . read not “red”
thanks for these instrutions . . . however, I have a pattern that calls for a two colored square where the color change is on the diagonal and having red several instructions, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do this . . . I guess I need more visual aid . . . If I did two half squares and then joined them on the diagonal by sewing together, I guess this would work but would certainly not look as nice as the square that is done all as one piece . . . any suggestions please . . . I am really stumped with this one
Hi Peggy, thank you for your commet – well.. now you’ve stumped me too but I’ll look into it & maybe I’ll be able to come up with something – might take a while but I’ll have a go
ANY advice you can offer will be appreciated . . . thanks
