My thought also. I would place the 6.5” square face up, then a 6.5” black square on top, and sew on either side of the centerline, then cut them apart. I would then put four together with the black on the outside corners. Same block, no waste. I just can’t waste fabric, I guess being taught to sew by my grandma that grew up in the Great Depression, still echos today.
