Be sure not to cut through the ends, nor through the center with the second cut. Your cuts will make a dotted X. After the two have been sewn together RST, you will be able to see where to snip to finish those cuts accurately. A small pointed scissors is needed to get into the corners, but as she said, Do Not cut into your sewing. I thin;k this is called a Pineapple Block. Hope you can make sense of this.
I was not told about this when I read the tute I took this block from. Perhaps that person didn't do it either. But thanks I will check this method out on the next block like this I do. I think I understand what you are saying, but not really clear on the cutting from corner to corner. Will have to see if I can decipher this when I start to cut the fab..
