Worked on these Flying Geese and square in a square units this weekend. No issues with Flying Geese.
I did NOT cut blocks larger. On the S I S blocks ..on my test block I sewed scant 1/4" when squaring to 4-1/2" I would have lost inside point if I had trimmed. Next test 1/4 seams trimmed just a tiny bit...as we have to made 16 of these units ....I marked my 4-1/2" square ruler like this -- big help when trimming.

I love your blocks Judy. Your quilt is going to be awesome. What is the pink on your ruler, Judy? Is it a marker or tape?
I have been contemplating all day ordering a Bloc Loc flying geese ruler. I am afraid to square up the geese with the 4.5" ruler. Because I cut large, I have to cut alot off the top. But I like your idea, Judy. Hmmm, I wonder if a chalk marker would work.

It is called Glow line tape, I use it when I have many squares to cut the same size and do not have a ruler that size. So I thought if I marked the center square with the tape on my 4-1/2" square it would help with keeping the 1/4" seam allowance on the block. See photo package with 3 different color spools and tape clings to the plastic ruler.
Hope this answers your question

I have my blocks all made now. I just need to trim all of them. But I have to get some tape first. Thanks, Judy!

Finally finished my November clue! I have 4 projects going on at once, not something I normally do. And the Bonnie a Hunter mystery starts next week! My sewing room looks like an Oklahoma tornado went through it!
