    We must think alike! But my tape pieces are only about half an inch in each corner. Works well, doesn't it?

    Yes, don't think I would have ever succeeded in trimming all 125 squares with a flat ruler.

    Great idea. I was having the same problem with my Pinwheels. Now I know what to do.

    What a clever idea. My dh used automotive liquid gasket to make dots on my rulers so they wouldn't slide. Works great. If it works, don't fix it is my motto.
