QuiltnNan, try using a correction pen for that job. (IE: White out pen.) It works great! You just make a small, white, dot close to your mark and it wipes off with a little water when you're done.
On this log cabin block, I found that using the 3/4" mark helpful to measure the width of the last 2 "logs." There is a small dot in the corner that matches up with the point where those logs meet up. It's just one more mark to go off of. I also use the 45 degree diagonal line.
