Yes that is what it is. There is a small space/ couple of threads or a set measurement between the point and the seam. I made a quilt with "float" space for the points and it looked really nice. (at least I liked the look). It seems easier to have the points float but it is still important to have the space reasonalbly close in disatance. The pattern I followed said that you could have the points either float or not. the difference being in cutting /squaring the block to 1/4" seam allowance. To have the blocks float then you would square the block with 1/2" edges instead of 1/4" and sew the seam 1/4" to allow the block to "float".
