Thanks!
For example...most directions say to start with 4 7/8" squares of fabric to end up with two 4.5" hst. I start with 5" squares, then trim them down to 4.5" when I'm done. I use my 4.5" square ruler and place the diagonal line along the diagonal seam and trim off the excess all around. It takes a little more time, but for me it's worth it.
