For the sewing .. my pieces are larger, and yes I sew past that normal 1/4" spot, then before the next piece goes on, I flip back the fabric and the extra paper and trim each seam to 1/4" and all the extra fabric and stitching are gone.
My fabric at the outside edge extends past the normal 1/4" and then once the block is totally finished and paper removed. A final good pressing of all ... and then I trim that outside edge.
At least ... that's how I do it!
Thank you QuiltE, that sounds like the way I do it too. I put a thin guide on the line, flip back the paper against the guide and then use an "add a quarter" ruler to trim. Not sure what you mean in your paragraph that starts with "for the sewing". Could you clarify? Thanks so much!
