Ummm... I meant bias, not selvage! lol (but you all knew what I meant)
Cut the squares on point, then the sides are on the straight, if you know what I mean.
Did u try this way ? Did it take more fabric ? waste i mean.
Yes, but wastage can be minimised if you cut the squares diagonally across the fabric.
