Question:how big to cut block?

According to this website, you should add 7/8" to the finished size. Finished size is after it's pieced, so I think yours would be 4 7/8".

This second website illustrates more, but it doesn't seem to be as straight forward.

I hate the 7/8 inch thing when making HST. I round up to nearest inch. After I sew the HST and press, I trim down to the exact size I want. I find that there is often distortion on the bias and this helps deal with it.
