I prefer the points as well. I think it makes it easier to line up the pieces of the blocks together to sew them. Like lining up the triangle point with the corner of the square. Otherwise if it doesn't have the point, then you need to line up the triangle down a from the corner on the square, instead of matching point edge to point edge. Same with sewing the triangle with other types of pieces. To me that would be just another pain of placing the no point triangle in the right place. Other pieces are still going to have dog ears that I will trim anyways, what does it matter if there are two layers of dog ears or one from the square for example. I'm still going to trim. Leave my rulers alone! Give me my points!
