Before I cut wrong
I watched a you tube video and sewed 4 strips of a jelly roll together.[2 1/2 inches]. the video said to cut 8 inches to make a square. I think it should 8 1/2 inches to make a square. Please help me with math. thanks

I agree with the 8.5". Four strips sewn together takes 3 seams @ half an inch each, or 1.5" total. Four strips measure 10 inches unsewn, subtract the seams and you get 8.5".
However, as Tartan suggested, I'd measure your sewn strip set and use that width as the measurement in case your seams are bit off.
