I have a lot of small scraps from my 1930's repro. fabrics and want to use them on the value die. Does the entire die need to be covered with fabric? If is does, how is the best way to get just the 2 1/2 square cut out. So far, I have only used the 6 1/2 inch tumbler on my Accuquilt.

I would like to use the square to make a small, scrappy 9 patch.
