I think you would get better seam placement by sewing the six strips first before cutting...you just have to be very careful with your 1/4 inch seam and your pressing to not stretch your strips!

eta: here are the directions for the Triple IC from quilterscache: http://quilterscache.com/T/TripleIrishChainBlock.html Check out page two of the instructions to see how she does a large patch.
