When you set a block on point, it greatly increases in size.
Ex: take a 8 1/2" square piece of paper, measure it corner to corner, and it measures just slightly over 12" :wink:

Choose a 9 in block that can be trimmed without losing any points, you will be trimming almost 1/8" off of each side. :D:D:D
