I just cut them 1 inch and a half or quarter larger than the block they are going next to. Then cut them diagonally. There is a little waste, but I think it is better to have it a little larger and cut it off than have it too small.
Have Fun,

Dear Caroline
Did you have the chart from www.victoriaquiltdesigns.com ? It does have Triangles and setting Triangles Calculator (chart).
