You are OH so right and you have to be careful when you iron them open, don't stretch them. Can be done if you are careful. And they are very fast to make and mine seem to be all the same size and fit together just great.

I was thinking, if you cut the squares "on point", then you would have the edges on the straight grain.
Fantastic idea! Thanks! And do not forget ladies, if you cut with a large wide ruler to wear a cutting glove! I also use one of those suction cup hand guards for a shower attached to my ruler as a handle. Works great and remains safe.
