And then in the end when you squared up your final block from 10.25 to 10 inches, that doesn't cut off points or anything?
Exactly---the points are way far away from the edge. I did lose a little of the triangles at the corners and they were not exactly the same size. I do not try for perfection by any stretch of the imagination. I wanted the finished blocks to be the same size for ease of sewing them into rows. I also squared up the big triangles before sewing them together but I cannot remember what size---I think it was 7 1/4???
