Basically you cut large and trim down. Instead of cutting 3/4 inch black strips -1/4" plus 1/2" seam allowances - I cut 1 inch. Sewed it onto the blocks using the normal 1/4 seam allowance. Once sewed on, from the back of the block, trim off the extra 1/4" using your ruler rotary cutter.

Thanks for all the great comments! You gals are great for the ego. :-D
Got it. Thanks! Barb
