I use 1/4" seams (with all that thickness, it's more like a 3/8") and it works. I've also used the 5.5" ruler to cut strips and that, too, works.
What are "running 8ths"?
About the square -- you would have to cut the first pieces differently to form a square, but it would work. You would just have to do the math. I like the rectangles :lol:
