I always just cut mine at the inch mark (like you said --- 7" in this case). 7/8" is just a pain to try to figure out consistently & I don't think the extra 1/8" of fabric that I "waste" is gonna break my bank... LOL! I like to cut my stuff oversized & trim it down (like side setting triangles, tho I like them oversized to float the blocks). My theory is that you can always cut fabric off but you can't re-attach it!
