I was wondering if it was really necessary to do the bias ones. Dumb questions, but wouldn't I need to add 1/2" to the finished size to allow for the 1/4" seam allowances?
Yes you would have to add the seam allowances. I have done this on several quilts and it works great. Make one sample out of scrap to double check your size before you cut the whole quilt.
