Accurary in Quilting

I'm still here! :-)
I'm finishing up the last of my swoon blocks for beaquilter's swap. (button on sidebar) and it got me to thinking about accuracy. 
To me, accuracy in sewing and cutting counts. A lot.
It makes sewing the blocks together so much easier than having to 'fudge' a bit here and there.
You already know how much I love Triangulations!
I've sung their praises many times. ;-)

But how about flying geese?
Which method do you use?  There are several~ from specialty rulers, to using squares and rectangles, to cutting triangles, and even a no waste method.
No matter which I use, I find I need to trim them up...
(and no, I don't have the newest version of Triangulations with Flying Geese, mine is one of the first versions that came out.) ;-)

Even if it just a few threads~ it makes a difference in piecing your block.
So I'm curious~ have you discovered a great way to do flying geese?
Do you trim block components as you go? Am I being too OCD? :-)  LOL

Until next time~
Happy stitching!!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
