cut 1/8 inch bigger and after you sew each section up square up to the correct size. Give yourself some wiggle room :D

I use a square ruler that has a line going from one corner diagnally through the ruler to the other corner. When squaring up my blocks, I run this line along the line of my block and this ensures my points always come out where they are supposed too. Hope this helps!

I didn't really understand how seam allowances worked to keep your points pointing until I saw this. I wanted each block to look perfect and didn't allow for what would happen when it was sewn together.[/quote
