Just make sure your pieces are the right size, not too big and sew accurate seams. I usually make mine a little bigger and then trim them to the right size. A lot of the blocks you get online require a scant .25" seam, and the blocks don't work if your seam is not scant. :D :D And welcome from Texas.

cutting them off or sewing them off?
make sure your finished blocks are the correct size, check your seam allowance, ( that's always my problem).
