Tube method for HST - chart

Do you mean the way where you cut the squares, put them right side together, sew around the edges then cut them apart like a big x?

Tube method to me is 2 strips of fabric (usually WOF) sewn on both sides then cut in a triangle from each sewn edge.
Rough estimate is minus 1/2 inch the width of the strip is the size of the 1/2 square triangle.
If you start with a 4 1/2 inch strip your square will be 4 inches UNFINISHED.
3 inch strip will make a 2 1/2 inch UNFINISHED square.....
Does this help?

I have seen lots of tube quilts here mad with 4= strips. I make mine with 3 strips. 2 are equal.
A= 3" (cut size)
B= 3"
C= 5.5"
Sew Strip A to B. Reverse directions. Sew B to C
Sew A to C, with the right side of the fabric on the inside of the tube.
You cut lining up the 45* marker on your ruler with the outer seam, then reverse and cut from the opposite side. You will get 2 different square blocks, which you can use various ways.
