Yes, 2 squares and when you sew them make the diagonal seam just a couple of thread closer to the corner. Extra little bit allows the point of the square to align with the base better. I don't trim off the base rectangle until I've pressed well or even leave it on for stability. I'm always pleased and proud of my geese! Think I may do a tute.
