That's correct. The rectangle should be cut the same height as the squares, and the length should be 1/2" less than twice that of the squares.

For example 4" squares
4 + 4 - 1/2" = 7 1/2, so the the goose is 4" x 7 1/2"
or
5" squares
5 + 5 - 1/2" = 9 1/2, so the goose is 5" x 9 1/2"
Clear as mud???
