fussy cut wonky blocks
I wanted to fussy cut these lovely Laurel Burch cats. Then I wanted to set them in "wonky". It was tedious re measuring until I had 8" square blocks. So having just purchased paper piecing paper I cut it to 8.5" squares scored in pencil on the wrong side 1/4". Turned it over set the fussy cut at various angels then just took scraps laid them sewed a scant 1/4" seam then turned it over and cut on the 1/4" line. I think I saved time. My question is what is this technique and where can I learn more?
