Okay, I went back and reread this and put on my thinking cap. since you are going to make a quilt with this pattern, I wouldn't think that you would have to alter anything if you were going to use 1/4 inch seams. It will just be a little bigger. As far as the diagonal, you will be sewing across the center of it anyway so you shouldn't have to worry. Let us know how it turns out. Sometimes, we can over think a problem.
