I still get confused by the term "finished," as it seems like the half-square triangles and complex, larger blocks, after all those machinations, are finished. So, when I do my own calculations, I call them "raw." They're finished up as a unit but raw until they're sewn into the quilt.

Such words of wisdom !! I couldn't have said it any better. The 7/8 is the seam allowance on an angle. Just round up and trim it down after pressing. You will find you will have very accurate hst !!!
