And, if you cut two pieces of fabric 2 7/8s, the resulting hst that you are holding in your hand is 2"...correct?
I'm getting confused by the word "finished size".

Yes, Watson. Finished size is after sewing into your block.
If you cut two squares 4 7/8" and sew on the diagonal, etc. you will get two
4" finished HST's. But for better accuracy I would cut 5", sew and trim to 4.5".
4.5" is your unfinished HST. After you sew your HST in a block then it will be 4" finished.
