Since you are cutting squares, it sure can be done. Adjust your length to compensate for the upsizing. Cutting the width at 2 inches will give you a 4.5 finished square, so you should cut your length 5 inches, which when sewn together will be 4.5 inches. I did this in EQ7 and printed the block at the 4.5 finished size.
Forgot to add: If this is the only block you are using, there will be no problems. If you have other blocks then everything has to be upsized otherwise it will never match up.
