These numbers are based on a yard, not a meter but that means you can get a little bit more in Canada where you are buying 39 and a bit inches rather than 36!

Diagonal Block Measurements
The basic calculation to find the size of square you need for setting triangles is to multiply the block size by 1.41
| Finished Block Size | Diagonal Measurements | Decimal Equivalents |
| 4" | 5 5/8" | 5.625" |
| 6" | 8 1/2" | 8.5" |
| 9" | 12 3/4" | 12.75" |
