Default HST question

I saw a great sale on Crftsy and bought my first kit. I downloaded the pattern/instructions and in looking at them it looks like the pattern is full of half square triangles. That's fine but the cutting instructions call for cutting them 6 7/8" and I'm wondering if you know the best way to cut them for accuracy without doing the 7/8 thing. I usually cut slightly larger and trim them down a bit after the blocks are sewn but I don't know if there will be enough fabric. And then even with that I'd rather cut squares, draw the line and sew on each side so I don't have to deal with the bias edges. The problem is I have no idea what size squares to cut to make them come out right. Any idea what might be the best way to do this?
