A quilter in my guild figured that out. I did it with bias edges. You just have to be careful and not stretch the edges. Doing it the other way you can come up with a size that evenly divides for the cross-cutting instead of an odd fraction that makes it a little difficult to get all the cut up squares the same. I started with 12 1/2" sqs and came out with 15 1/4" unfinished. The video starts with 10" sqs.
Hope this isn't too confusing.
You used 12 1/2" squares, bet that top went together really quick. Will remember to use my big square up ruler next time. Thank you for the hint.
