Hello, friends!
Newbie here, with a question or two regarding a Dutchman's Puzzle block I am making. This block, of course, consists of 8 "flying geese" units - and after reviewing the various methods from this website, I am preparing myself to use one of the "no-waste" techniques. What a great collection of sewing strategies - I am so glad to receive the ideas from this website! Thanks to all who contribute!
My questions on this topic are specifically about dimensions of fabric. From what I gather, in order to create a finished 12" Dutchman's Puzzle block, each of the 8 finished-size flying geese units must be rectangles that are 3"x6". I know this must seem incredibly obvious, but as I mention - I am truly a newbie!
So, the unfinished size of each FG unit must be 3-1/2"x6-1/2" - correct? That's my essential question about this part of my project. Whether or not I understand the size that includes my all-important 1/4" seam allowances!!
FWIW, this is the technique I will try out for this project - got the link from here, just wanted to let you all know what I'm planning:

And, I downloaded the companion cutting chart which seems very helpful for a newbie!
