Default Cutting backgroun squares for applique

Since my last posted BooBoo, I am ready to cut my squares for the F&P Flip Flop quilt pattern. I was always told that you cut your square slightly larger before appliqueing, then trim when finished. I have done very little applique over the years I have quilted. The pattern says to cut background squares 8.5"x10", Should I cut them as stated or add 1/4"?? I received a few extra inches from the Fabric Shack because that was the end of the bolt. Here are most of my Flip Flops waiting patiently to be fused onto their background. THANKS
