...The directions are not for flying geese but instead to make squares 2 3/8", cut on the diagonal and then sew a light backgound triangle to each side of a dark triangle.
[...]
These are the correct directions, I think my other link may have just shown a pic, not the actual directions. https://www.patchworksquare.com/mf/s...uilt-block.pdf

This block is an 'image' as we see in EQ or similar programs, which doesn't show the seam allowances, even the outer one. However the cutting instructions do seem correct to me, but am going to try it myself. Thanks for this info. Great block.

I think you need to add 1/2 inch to each piece in the block. What is shown is a finished block, as in when it is already sewn together. Adding 1/2 inch all around will give you the 1/4 inch seam you need to not lose your points. It should measure 12 1/2 inch unfinished.

It is much easier to oversize them and trim as needed to size. Here is the method that I have used. There is a chart included below the tutorial to make different sizes.

I don't know if this helps you or not... and I have never used this pattern but I found it on a BOM from a site I check once in awhile.... http://www.fvqg.org/bom-instructions/BOM-Sep19.pdf
