Hope this helps Good luck
I have made two of these now. The first was using strips about 8 inches long with the strip set 4 inches wide. I used a center square of 2 inches, and it came out "almost". Then I thought I needed to add a seam allowance to all those measurements.
Then I made another with strips 12 1/2 inches long and the strip set 6 1/2 inches wide. I used a center that was 3 1/2 inches square. Perfect. That showed me the formula: 8-4-2 or 12-6-3 Add seam allowances to each of these pieces and it comes out.
But when you make it this way, the corners are not covered. I needed to add a small triangle to each corner. I found fabric that matched or almost matched other fabrics. Beautiful!
