I've got a bunch done and am having a heck of a time with them. Figured I could do this. I had a bunch of 8 inch squared (from pot holders) and started out, plus cutting whites. They ended up 10 7/8 (some) and I have trimmed them all down to 10 1/2. Mine are a mess too. I'm so totally stumped, but moving ahead. I'm a fraud anyway. I sew, but I'm sure not a "quilter" like most of you are. I'm just to the point that I am going to keep going and probably hide it when I finish it. LOL
