Yes Mal - I cut my base units at 8.5 inches, fold the edges in 1/4" all round but instead of just ironing, I actually whip stitch those edges together, then fold all the corners to center and tack down. The resulting base is a 4" unit.
I like to work in sections of 4 units x 4 units for 16 total. Its an easy size to work with on-the-go.
