Do you realize that when you use a ONE INCH SQUARE, you actually lose 3/4ths of your fabric of that one inch square into the seam allowance?!!
That's a huge waste in my (not so humble ) opinion!

Think of it, you pay -- say -- $10 per yard for fabric, then you lose $7.50 of fabric just into the seam allowances. OMG!

THAT, my friend, is one good reason I (personally) don't use these mini (one might even say 'macro' sized) squares.
That and the fact that, like others, I can't well manipulate stuff that tiny any more.
You're welcome.
