For me I find doing them the way you explained easier, but that is just me.
I like the method of using the squares. Only, I like to cut 1 inch larger, rather than 7/8 in. My reason is if I don't have a true 1/4 in. seam, I still have enough to true it up and trim. I'd rather have too much than too little and having to rip the seam out. Life is too short. :wink:
