I usually use simple patterns that do not involve many triangles, so I may be wrong. So, I guess this is a question not a statement.

No, you do not lose your points when using the Bloc Loc rulers. I've used
it several times and made a ton of FG. No problem.

Watson, I haven't read all the replies but when you get a chance get Deb Tucker's Wings ruler.
I just did a bazillion flying geese for the BH mystery and they came out beautifully with it.

But let me back up:
I forgot I had it so I started making them the traditional way and they were giving me fits. Then
I remembered! It was smooth sailing to make the rest.

Flying geese

I made 120 flying geese with the shortcut sheet from kitsbycarla.com I had bought the one shortcut sheet and made several sets to demo to my guild . I love this method if you have to make lots. I needed them for a border.

I found out that they are called Migrating Geese or Staggered Geese. Omak has a post on here that shows how to do it. You cut two squares of background and one square of "goose" Cut the goose square on the diagonal corner to corner. Sew one triangle to one square RST with a 1/4 inch seam on the two sides that match. Do the same with the other square and trangle. Now cut the resulting piece on the diagonal the other direction, cutting through the triangle. You have four very oddly shaped pieces. Sew them together to get the migrating geese as in the picture. Take one of the pieces apart and sew the small triangle to the bottom and the larger triangle to the top. This gives you an edge you can sew onto something else.

I had found my copy of the pattern and found that it was called Migrating or Staggered Geese. The "Gaggle of Geese" are not off-set. They are just in a row.
