    It's only an issue if you are using yardage too. Then you need to make sure the measurements match. Sometimes with the pinked edges, it is over 5 inches.

    this was always my problem with pre-cuts and why I quit buying them on line. Having to measure was a pain.

    As long as you are consistent with whatever edge you use.

    Those 5" blocks are not always the same. Be sure before you start that All those squares are 5". Ask me how I know?

    If I am using it as a 5" square, I just leave it. Sometimes I may need to trim it down to a smaller piece.
