BigSister63 ... In theory your technique should work. However, you have gone from matching four seams to needing to match 12 seams!!!! While you feel it will save you fabric, I am not so sure but what it will take as much fabric, and perhaps even a little more because of the added seamwork.
If you are trying to avoid mitred corners, the other option would be to use a cornerstone and not have to match any of the stripes.
