However, is it a shortcut when you cut a 5", and then after sewing, learn the skill of trimming to size.
Actually, it is extra work!!!
I learned cutting the "1/8" way but recently struggled with some intricate piecing and it not coming out right...I asked help from a women that pieces amazing quilts and has been quilting for years.....she told me don't bother cutting by the 1/8", round it up and trim when the block is completed...she says that's the way she does it and the block comes out much more accurately!
