Cut two sides then rotate fabric 180 degrees (a half turn of piece of fabric being cut). Now cut two sides and square is complete.
I really like using the 3 1/2 inch Creative Grids square for cutting smaller squares like this ( a 2 1/2" square is good too. The lines are thin, can be easily seen, and aids in getting accurate squares. Happy cutting and sewing. I've been working a a 9 patch charmer using 1.5 inch squares.
