Here's a little illustration showing the basic quilt sizes! I can't even imagine doing a king size quilt. Ha. Maybe someday!

Cutting Guide: Half Square Triangle Chart
I made another little reference guide. I used this chart as inspiration. It has been so helpful to me in the past! I just wanted to make on in the same style as the others I've created.
Click here to download the 8.5"x11" version.
EDIT: In the comments below, you will see Carol had a great question. I didn't clarify in the chart above how to cut your fabric to end up with the sizes in the right column. There are a few different ways to piece together half square triangles. The chart above reflects this method. In her video, Jenny shows a super speedy method of getting 4 half square triangles from one square sandwich. You basically sew a quarter of an inch all the way around your quilt sandwich, then cut diagonally from corner to corner.
If you haven't taken time to browse Missouri Star Quilt Co.'s video tutorials, you should definitely take a look. I learn more visually, so it helps so much to watch Jenny show the process of making all different quilts and projects. Most of her projects are made from precuts, which make the piecing process so much faster.
Please let me know if any of you have any more questions or if there is anything else I can help clarify!

Square Cuts from a Layer Cake Square
I made another reference sheet for the square cuts you can get from a 10"x10" layer cake square. I included up to 5" squares because any larger and you can only get 1 square of the same size out of the layer cake piece.

Cutting Guide: Cuts from a Fat Quarter
I decided to make a little sheet illustrating the number of squares you could cut from a fat quarter based on the size you needed. This way, I won't have to do so much math! Ha. It's probably best for my brain to have to do math but this is just so much easier and prettier to look at than a calculator.
