I tried that one too. Here's why it won't work, no matter how large a piece of paper you use. Everytime you fold it, a certain percentage of the paper gets folded....bigger paper...same percentage gets used up (see below) ....stop driving yourself nuts...it won't work!

1st fold- 50% of original paper left
2nd fold- 25% left
3rd fold - 12.5%
4th fold-6.25%
5th fold-3.125 %
6th fold-1.56%
7th fold-.78%

That means after your 7th fold, you have less than 1% of the original paper left and you are trying to fold it over more than 99% of the original paper, which is in a square less than an inch in diameter.
