FOUND IT:

I didn't go to check which it was or where it was, but I do know that when I am making sawtooth using the regular flip and sew method, I cut the blocks for the geese portion the regular size and overcut the height of the base. For example a 6" goose would be 3-1/2 by 6-1/2 to finish in the quilt at 6 x 3. When I cut the big piece for the geese, I cut it 3-1/2 by 6-3/4. Also cut the corner piece that would have been 3-1/2" square, that that also at 3-3/4. Then trim the finished block at 12-1/2", trimming off the goose portion that sometimes gets wonky.

Angelia found it, but I'm posting it in case anyone else is interested.
