Moda Bake Shop has a "recipe" using that method -

A friend of mine told me about this at the hospital last week too. So it was great to hear that this really works. I had come home and tried one and called another friend who right away commented about whether it would stretch or not (Q.P. big time) and I told her I assumed it would since it was on the bias but that it went real fast and according to the lady who told me about it that the work went fast and she had no problem. I like the idea about starching so now I am going to tell my Q.P. friend (quilt police friend to the max) about the starch and I am going in today to cut lots of 9 1/2 inch squared for my scrappy quilt!!! Oh I love this idea!!!! Thanks for sharing all the ideas.

Sorry for being so dense.
Never mind I found the math. Should read full thread before I ask questions. Sorry
