I agree with dorilou58. The cut down method makes my life so much easier. No stress. I also starch my fabric. Sometimes I only trim two edges of each 1/2 sq triangle and make sure whose are the edges I sew together. I press the block after putting four 1/2 sqs together then cut the whole thing to the correct size. Hope this idea helps those who are having a bit of trouble getting the correct size blocks.
